WASHINGTON, Jan. 27, 2018 — The Resolute Support mission
remains focused on defeating the insurgents in Afghanistan, the commander of
the mission said today, following a terrorist bombing in Kabul.
“Today’s attack once again demonstrates that the enemies of
Afghanistan kill indiscriminately,” Army Gen. John W. Nicholson said in a
statement. “Unarmed civilians throughout Afghanistan regularly bear the brunt
of this cruelty.”
Nicholson said the terrorists care nothing for the people of
Afghanistan.
The Afghan government and Afghan National Defense and
security forces are working tirelessly to defend all Afghans and respond to
these attacks with bravery and professionalism, he said.
“As our thoughts turn to the family and friends of those killed
and injured at this time, we will also go forward and do our best work in their
memory -- defeating the insurgents and bringing peace to this region,”
Nicholson said.
The explosives were hidden in an ambulance; nearly 100
people had been killed in the attack, according to news reports.
