Tehran, IRNA – Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh condemned the bomb explosion at the Mawlawi Sekandar mosque for Sunni Muslims in Afghanistan.
Khatibzadeh pointed to a series of terrorist attacks in Afghanistan over the past days and described the escalation of violence as a source of deep concern.
The Iranian foreign ministry spokesman wished divine mercy for the martyrs and patience and divine blessings for the bereaved families.
“The attack on the Sunni mosque in Kunduz Province, which followed yesterday’s attack on the Shia mosque in Mazar-i-Sharif, clearly shows the evil goals of the terrorists serving as mercenaries for foreigners, who are seeking to create a civil war in Afghanistan,” he added.
At least 33 Afghan people, including children, were killed and 43 others wounded after an explosion tore through a mosque in the northern city of Kunduz, in the latest in a series of deadly attacks in the war-ravaged country.
