Attack edit

The perpetrator drove a car filled with explosives into buses which were carrying court employees including judges.[3] The Taliban took responsibility for the attack, saying that they delivered a blow to judges who obeyed Western powers. The attack came a day after militants attacked Kabul International Airport.[1][4]

Reactions edit

  • Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai condemned the attack, saying, "it was another terrorist act that once again shows the Taliban are serving the enemies of Islam".[5]
  • UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon condemned the attack, stating, "Targeted attacks against civilians are unacceptable and a serious breach of international humanitarian law".[6]
