LONDON: º£½ÇÖ±²¥â€™s King Salman condemned the Kabul bombing that left at least 95 killed and 158 wounded on Saturday.
King Salman shared his condolences in a cable to Afghanistan’s President Mohammed Ashraf Ghani on the victims of a blast in the Afghan capital.
“We denounce and disapprove such a sinful criminal act,†King Salman said as cited by the state-owned Saudi press agency, SPA.
The king wished for a “speedy recovery†for those who were injured in the blast and affirmed the kingdom stands “alongside the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan against all machinations that may target its security and stability.â€
