once again showed by attacking innocent civilians that they
want to bring misery and destruction to Afghanistan, but the
people of Afghanistan will never allow this to happen.”

security institutions and these incidents will never hurt the
desire of the Afghan people for a better future.”
The President ordered the relevant authorities
to investigate the incidents and bring the perpetrators of these
attacks to justice.”
