ISLAMABAD, Aug 19 (APP):Pakistan on Monday strongly condemned fresh spate of bomb blasts in Afghanistan’s Jalalabad city, saying the cowardly attacks manifested “desperation of terrorist outfits and spoilers as hopes for peace, stability and national unity grew stronger”.
A series of explosions took place at restaurants and public squares in different parts of Jalalabad as the country marked centennial celebrations of independence from British rule.
“Pakistan remains a steadfast partner of Afghanistan in the joint efforts to defeat all designs aimed at perpetuating instability in the region,” the Foreign Office said in a statement.
