Egypt Condemns IS Deadly Attacks in Afghanistan

Egypt strongly denounced the four explosions across Afghanistan on Thursday that killed at least 31 people and wounded 87 others.

“Egypt offers its deep condolence to the families of the victims,” the Foreign Ministry said in a statement, stressing its solidarity to fight terrorism, violence, and extremism in all its forms and manifestations.

The Islamic State group (IS) claimed responsibility for two of the attacks. An explosion tore through a Shia Muslim mosque in Mazar-i-Sharif, while another occurred near a police station in Kunduz.

In the same vein, Richard Bennett, the United Nation's Special Rapporteur for Afghanistan on human rights, condemned the attacks.

"Today more explosions rocks Afghanistan [...] and again the Hazara community is a victim. Systematic targeted attacks on crowded schools and mosques calls for immediate investigation, accountability, and end to human rights violations," he wrote on Twitter.
