Tuesday, DECEMBER 06, 2011 – The United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) strongly condemns today’s explosions in the cities of Kabul and Mazar-i-Sharif that resulted in the deaths and injuries of tens of Afghan civilians who had gathered to mourn on the occasion of the Tenth of Muharam.
We express our heartfelt condolences to those who have lost their loved ones in these attacks.
Our thoughts are with all those Afghans who have been affected and we hope for the speedy recovery of those who have been injured.
UNAMA stresses that today’s attacks on Afghan civilians have no justification. Such illegal and indiscriminate attacks are completely unacceptable and those responsible are fully accountable for the deaths and injuries of civilians caused by such brutal acts.
