28 October 2009 Statement by the Secretary-General on the Attack in Kabul
I am deeply shocked and outraged by the cowardly attack on a guest house in central Kabul today, which killed five UN
staff and injured a number of others. I condemn in the strongest possible terms the despicable and brutal killing, for which
the Taleban has claimed responsibility in an apparent effort to disrupt the second round of the presidential election. My deepest condolences go to the families and friends of the victims who were viciously killed as they sought to serve
the people of Afghanistan. This indeed is a loss to all members of the UN family working together to support Afghanistan
at this critical juncture. The United Nations remains committed to continue its work in the country as the Afghan people
strive for a better future. |
