PESHAWAR: Awami National Party central president Asfandyar Wali Khan has condemned the suicide attacks in Afghanistan’s capital Kabul and termed it an attempt to disrupt the peace talks between the Afghan government and the Taliban, according to media sources.
In a statement issued here on Saturday, he expressed his condolences to the Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and Afghan people over the attacks. Asfandyar said both Pakistan and Afghanistan should evolve a joint strategy to root out the menace of terrorism, reportedly.
The ANP leader stressed that as long as distrust existed between the two neighbouring countries peace would remain elusive, he further added.
On Friday, a suicide attacker struck near the Kabul police academy, killing at least 20 cadets and wounding 27 others, according to Afghan officials.
The afghan Taliban claimed responsibility for the attack. The attack came less than 24 hours after a truck bomb ripped through central Kabul, killing 15 civilians and wounding 240 others.
