US Ambassador to Kabul John Bass wrote on Twitter regarding today’s complex attack on Counterpart International in PD10 of Kabul, “Strongly condemn Taliban attack against U.S. NGO in Kabul today. The targeted organization helps local communities, trains journalists and supports the Afghan people. For this, it is the target of senseless violence. Thanks to Afghan Security Forces for rapid response”.
UNAMA also condemned the attack in a statement saying “Civilians are #NotATarget -UNAMA condemns Taliban deliberate targeting of civilian aid org, Counterpart International in civilian area of Kabul Afghanistan. Today’s attack particularly deplorable, hitting civilians helping Afghans & taking place during Ramadan”.
The attack by Taliban is being ridiculed and condemned worldwide as it comes just days after the Loya Jirga on Peace proposed for ceasefire once Ramadan commences. But Taliban rejected the proposal.
