KABUL, Afghanistan–(ENEWSPF)–August 19, 2011. The International Security Assistance Force joins President Karzai in condemning the IED attacks today at the British Council compound in Kabul. Initial reports indicate a combination of multiple vehicle-borne and personal-borne IEDs were detonated.
“This despicable act of murder and destruction today, on this day of Afghan Independence, is yet another indication the insurgents have nothing but contempt for the Afghan people,” said General John R. Allen, commander of ISAF. “We will continue to support our Afghan counterparts to destroy the networks behind this attack, and hold the perpetrators accountable for their actions.”
