"The United States condemns in the strongest terms the vicious attack today in Kabul that killed dozens of Afghans and wounded many more … we offer President [Ashraf] Ghani whatever assistance he may require as his government investigates and works to bring the murderers to justice," the statement, published on the Department’s website, reads.
According to the statement, such attacks "only strengthen our resolve to continue our [US] mission in Afghanistan and deepen our support for the people and Government there."
Afghanistan is in a state of political and social turmoil, with government forces fighting the continuing Taliban insurgency, while other extremist groups, such as Daesh, outlawed in many countries including the United States and Russia, have also expanded their activities both in the country and in neighboring states.
