Afghan President Ashraf Ghani on Monday wowed to crush all safe havens of the Islamic State group and other militants.

He made the remarks at a ceremony held to mark the 100th anniversary of reclamation of Afghanistan’s independence.

“We will take revenge for every civilian drop of blood,” Ghani declared. “Our struggle will continue against (IS), we will take revenge and will root them out.”

He urged the international community to join those efforts.

President Ashraf Ghani’s comments came as Afghanistan mourns at least 63 people, including children, killed in the Kabul bombing at a wedding hall late on Saturday night. Close to 200 others were wounded.

The Taliban denied any involvement in the attack, but later Daesh claimed responsibility for it.
