If we said that ISIS is the name. How many identities are those who did this, Hizb Al-Tahrir - Taliban - ISIS and all. I mean, every time it was needed, they got a special title and title. The designer is named Adel Wald Mohammad Aref, who has read the faculty of Shariat until third grade and was later attracted by Sanawallah - a former member of Haqqani network, and until he committed this crime."
