The United Nations Mission in Afghanistan has strongly condemned a suicide attack that took place this morning in the province of Nangarhar close to the Pakistani border. UNAMA, as the UN mission is called, said it shares the outrage of all Afghans at such indiscriminate targeting of innocent people.

The UN Mission noted that the circumstances of this attack illustrate the unmistakable bonds of partnership between terrorists and drug traffickers.

At least 15 people are reported to have been killed and fourteen others wounded in the attack which has been claimed by the Taliban.

Today's suicide bombing comes a day after the members of the Security Council condemned the terrorist attack on Sunday that targeted an official ceremony being attended by President Hamid Karzai.

They underlined the need the need to bring those responsible for the attack to justice.
