ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: Pakistan has strongly condemned the terrorist bomb attack on a foreigners’ compound in Afghanistan’s Capital yesterday, which has led to loss of innocent lives.
At least 16 people were killed and over 100 people injured in the massive explosion followed by the sound of small-arms fire in Kabul City on Monday night.
“We want to express our heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families, as we pray for early recovery of the wounded,” said a statement issued by the Foreign Office in Islamabad on Tuesday.
