Salahuddin Rabbani said terrorism a mutual threat for the stability of Afghanistan and Iran, the region and the world.

“The current global fight against terrorism will be successful when the Muslim world clearly defines terrorism, and the Islamic countries jointly fight against violent groups, without separating them into good and bad," he said.
