“We are saddened to receive the news that many people lost their lives and many were injured during the attack to the convoy of Emrullah Saleh, the First Vice President of Afghanistan, in Kabul, this morning,” the Ministry said.

“We condemn the ongoing acts of violence and this most recent heinous attack that occurred, at a time when the Intra-Afghan Negotiations are expected to begin, an important stage for peace process in Afghanistan. We hope that peace efforts will continue without slowing down.”

“We wish for a swift recovery to the injured, especially Vice President Saleh, wish Allah’s mercy upon those who lost their lives, and convey our condolences to the friendly and brotherly people and Government of Afghanistan,” the Ministry concluded.

On Wednesday, at least 10 people were killed and 15 others wounded when a roadside bomb attack targeted the convoy of Afghan Vice President Amrullah Saleh in the Afghan capital Kabul.

Saleh, a former Afghan intelligence services head, escaped with slight burns on his face and hand, according to his spokesman.
