I condemn in the strongest terms the barbaric attack on Friday evening in Kabul, which has led to the death of at least 16 Afghan civilians and foreign nationals, including international staff dedicated to helping the Afghan people create a better future. I express my deepest condolences to the families of those who lost their lives and I wish speedy recovery to the wounded.

NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen

We stand in solidarity with the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, other international organisations and nations who are seeking to verify the status of their personnel.

There can never be any justification for such indiscriminate acts of terror and destruction.
