U.S. Embassy Statement on Attack on Kabul Guest House
The United States condemns the attack today on a guest house in Kabul, which killed at least six United Nations employees, including one American, and injured many others. This brutal attack on our international partners and friends, who were working to help build a secure and peaceful future for all Afghans, leaves us shocked and saddened. Attacking civilian workers will not lessen our determination to support the Afghan people and their election process. Our sympathies are with the families who have lost loved ones in this violence.
