Rising violence in the country amid intra-Afghan peace talks is a foreign conspiracy to scuttle the negotiations, says former President Hamid Karzai
He voiced his deep shock at Saturday’s suicide car bombing in the Ghanikhel district of eastern Nangarhar province, where 15 people were killed md more than 30 others wounded.
While calling for the prosecution of perpetrators, Karzai urged all parties to the war to frustrate external plots to impede progress in the ongoing peace parleys.
“Both sides should use all their might to make the negotiations a success and thus bring peace and security to our people,” the ex0president said in a statement.
Karzai prayed to Allah to shower His eternal blessings on the martyrs and grant their bereaved families patience. He also wished the wounded a speedy recovery.
