Following twin blasts in the Afghan capital of Kabul, the Government yesterday issued a statement condemning the terrorist attack.

“We extend our heartfelt condolences to the families and loved ones of all victims. We wish all those injured in this senseless violence a speedy recovery,” the Foreign Ministry said.

Twin blasts in Kabul killed at least 26 people on Monday, including nine journalists who had arrived to report on the first explosion and were apparently targeted by a suicide bomber.

The attacks, a week after 60 people were killed as they waited at a voter registration centre in the city, underlined mounting insecurity despite repeated government pledges to tighten defences, international media reported.

Hours after the attack in Kabul, a suicide bomber in a vehicle attacked a foreign military convoy in the southern province of Kandahar, killing 11 children studying in a nearby religious school.
