    Afghanistan: US condemns ISIS suicide bombing

    An official statement published by the State Department strongly condemns ISIS's suicide bombing in Kabul, which killed 80 and wounded hundreds more.

    "The innocent victims today were, as President Ghani said, exercising nothing more than their constitutional right of peaceful demonstration.

    "The killers responsible for this bloodshed do not represent the future for Afghanistan and will not prevail. Attacks like these only strengthen our resolve to continue our mission in Afghanistan and deepen our support for the people and Government there."
