The General Secretariat of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) condemned in the strongest terms the powerful explosion on Friday 23 September 2022, targeting a mosque in Kabul’s Wazir Akbar Khan neighborhood.
The blast, the latest in a deadly spate of bombings over recent months, reportedly left seven people dead and more than 40 injured.
The General Secretariat deplores the unabated and outrageous attacks inducing the death and injury of innocent civilians across Afghanistan. Friday’s blast constitutes a bleak reminder, the General Secretariat decried, that the security environment in Afghanistan continues to be volatile.
The OIC General Secretariat reaffirms its earlier calls on the de facto authorities in Kabul to deploy more resolute measures to preempt such attacks and ensure that Afghan people live securely and safely.
The OIC wishes to express its genuine sympathy and condolences to the families of the victims of the blast and a speedy and full recovery to those who were unfortunately injured.
