President Ashraf Ghani on Tuesday strongly condemned what he called a barbaric Taliban terrorist attack in a residential and non-military area last night that resulted in numerous casualties and injuries, most of them civilians.
At least 16 people were killed and 119 others wounded when a bomb explosion targeted Green Village Camp in capital Kabul on Monday night, officials said.
President Ghani vehemently condemned the attack in a series of tweets and said: “The war protracted by the Taliban against our country and citizens is a crime against humanity.”
Ghani said the Taliban were only following orders of their patrons to destroy Afghanistan country and harm its people.
The president described the Taliban as hirelings of foreign vicious circles whose leadership was based outside Afghanistan.
He praised the valor and heroism of the Afghan Defense and Security forces for repelling the enemies’ assaults at different parts of the country and said the Taliban resorted to such cowardice acts as they could never stand against the brave Afghan forces
The president ordered the relevant authorities to spare no efforts to reach out to the victims of the incident and offered his deep sympathies to the families of the deceased and wished speedy recovery for the wounded.
