Nazarbayev extends condolences to President of Afghanistan over deadly Kabul attack

AKIPRESS.COM - President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev extended condolences to his Afghan counterpart President Ashraf Ghani over the suicide car bomb attack in Kabul's diplomatic quarter that killed 90 and injured 461.

"The head of state learned the tragic news about the deadly blast with deep sorrow," the statement of the press service of the Kazakh leader said.

Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani has condemned the "cowardly" truck bomb attack that ripped through the heart of Kabul's diplomatic district. The powerful explosion on Wednesday was described by officials as "one of the biggest" to have hit the Afghan capital.

The explosives were hidden in a tanker truck used to clean out septic systems, Najib Danish, deputy spokesman for the interior minister, said.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
