Dunford denounces Kandahar blast

“The enemies of Afghanistan continue to demonstrate their complete disregard for human life and peace by deliberately placing IEDs along well-traveled roads or populated areas, indiscriminately targeting innocent Afghan men, women and children,” said the ISAF commander. 

Gen. Joseph F. Dunford, while denouncing Tuesday’s incident in Khakrez district, said: “Our condolences go out to the loved ones affected by senseless violence.”

Despite acts of violence, there was a path to peace and stability in the country, the top US general said, adding their support for the Afghans remained resolute and unwavering as they moved toward a better future.
