Foreign Secretary statement on Kabul attack
Boris Johnson has condemned the attack in Afghanistan and called for those responsible to face justice.
The Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said:
I am shocked and appalled by yesterday鈥檚 horrific attack in Kabul and condemn it in the strongest possible terms. The use of an ambulance as a weapon to target civilians is despicable.
Once again, so many innocent Afghan lives lost and so many people鈥檚 lives affected. My heartfelt condolences go out to the victims and their families. I commend the brave Afghan men and women in the emergency services for their response to this brutal act.
The UK stands resolutely with Afghanistan against terrorism and calls for those responsible to be brought to justice. We remain firmly committed to supporting Afghan efforts to bring peace to Afghanistan. Yesterday鈥檚 attack makes it all the more crucial that all parties intensify efforts to pursue dialogue. Regional and international partners must be united in support of this goal. The Afghan people deserve peace.
