Cairo, Rabi'I 15, 1440, Nov 23, 2018, SPA -- Al-Azhar condemned the explosion that took place today in a mosque at an Afghan army base in "Khost" province, killing and injuring dozens. Al-Azhar stressed in a statement today that the violation of the sanctity of the places of worship and shedding of the blood of the faithful worshipers is a new evidence that the perpetrators of these crimes have been stripped of any religious or moral concerns requiring concerted efforts of all international bodies to confront these terrorist gangs and rid the world of their evils. --SPA 01:47 LOCAL TIME 22:47 GMT 0018 www.spa.gov.sa/w792968
