The Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called on the Afghan Government and the Taliban group to cooperate in bringing the perpetrators of Kabul and Nangarhar attacks to justice, reports The Khaama Press. Mike Pompeo said in a statement “In an unconscionable assault, gunmen seized one of Kabul’s busiest hospitals, which housed a maternity ward run by Doctors Without Borders. In the hospital, the terrorists took the lives of at least 13 innocent people, including newborn babies, new mothers, and health care workers. Any attack on innocents is unforgivable, but to attack infants and women in labor in the sanctuary of a hospital is an act of sheer evil.” Pompeo further added “Separately, in the eastern province of Nangarhar, a suicide bomber attacked the funeral of a local police commander, leaving at least 26 people dead and more than 68 wounded. Terrorists who attack mourners lining up for prayer at a funeral are only seeking to tear apart the bonds that hold families and communities together, but they will never succeed.” Noting that Taliban denied any responsibility and condemned both attacks as heinous, Pompeo said “The Taliban and the Afghan government should cooperate to bring the perpetrators to justice.”
