UN Security Council condemns Kunduz suicide bombing
The UN Security Council has strongly condemned Tuesday’s suicide attack near a bank in Afghanistan’s northern Kunduz province.
Daesh has claimed responsibility for the bombing which, according to local officials, killed five people and injured seven others.
The bombing took place near a Kabul Bank branch in Kunduz.
The UN Security Council said in a statement on Friday the attack was a “heinous terrorist” act and reaffirmed that terrorism in all its forms and manifestations constitutes one of the most serious threats to peace and security in Afghanistan, as well as in the world.
The members of the Security Council underlined the need to hold perpetrators, organizers, financiers and sponsors of these “reprehensible acts of terrorism accountable” and bring them to justice.
They urged all countries, in accordance with their obligations under international law and relevant Security Council resolutions, to cooperate actively with all relevant authorities in this regard.
