United States condemned the reported Taliban attack on a bus in southern Afghanistan, saying the Taliban will "do anything" to stop the country's economic recovery. State Department deputy spokesman Robert Wood said: "We want to strongly condemn this attack on innocent civilians. This is a heinous act. It just goes to show that the Taliban are ruthless killers who would do anything they can to stop progress in Afghanistan. If you look at the situation here, we've been helping the Afghans build roads in the country and we have an attack by the Taliban on a vehicle that was on one of these roads. The Taliban have no interest in helping Afghanistan recover economically and prosper. We strongly condemn this and we hope to see others strongly condemn it as well." |
