NATO commander condemns Kapisa suicide bombing

The NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) commander Gen. John strongly condemned suicide bomb attack in eastern Kapisa province of Afghanistan on Friday. According to a statement released by ISAF, “Insurgents attacked an ISAF convoy with a vehicle borne improvised explosive device this morning in Tagab district, Kapisa province. At this time there are no reports of ISAF fatalities or injuries, but initial reports indicate the blast killed and injured several Afghan civilians.” “We strongly condemn this latest brutal act of violence by the insurgents,” said Gen. John Allen, ISAF commander. “This attack, along with the more than 3,400 innocent civilians who died at the hands of insurgents last year, underscores that the innocent people of Afghanistan are the real victims of these senseless murders. This attack reaffirms my long held conviction that the insurgents have no respect or regard for the Afghan people”, Allen said.
