The following statement was issued by National Security Council spokesperson Ned Price.
The United
States strongly condemns the terrorist attack today at the Baqir-ul-Olum
Mosque in Kabul, Afghanistan, which killed dozens of innocent
civilians, many of them worshipers, and
wounded more than 40. This cowardly attack was clearly intended to
stoke sectarian tensions in Afghanistan. We extend our deepest
condolences to the families and friends of the victims of this attack
and fully support efforts to bring those responsible to
justice. The United States and our international partners remain
committed to the people and Government of Afghanistan as we work
together to build a more stable and prosperous peaceful Afghanistan.
