For Immediate Release
The U.S. Embassy strongly condemns yesterday’s attack on worshippers gathered for Iftar at the Grand Mosque in Baghlan province. The attack deliberately targeting individuals praying in a mosque is abhorrent, particularly during Ramadan, a time of peace and reflection. At this time, we offer our sympathies to the people who suffered as a result of this attack. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families at this time.
