NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen Saturday condemned "in the strongest terms the barbaric attack" on Friday evening on a restaurant in Kabul. He noted in a statement that the attack has led to the death of at least 16 Afghan civilians and foreign nationals, including international staff dedicated to helping the Afghan people create a better future. "We stand in solidarity with the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, other international organisations and nations who are seeking to verify the status of their personnel. There can never be any justification for such indiscriminate acts of terror and destruction," concluded the statement.
