Secretary-General on Afghanistan
Statement attributable to the Spokesman for the Secretary-General on Afghanistan
The Secretary-General
strongly condemns today’s attack on a voter registration
centre in Kabul which claimed the lives of many
civilians.
Those who were behind this attack must be swiftly brought to justice. They must not be allowed to succeed in deterring Afghan citizens from carrying out their constitutional right to take part in forthcoming elections.
The Secretary-General extends his deepest condolences to the families of the victims and wishes a speedy recovery to those injured. He expresses his solidarity with the Government and people of Afghanistan.
