US condemns Kabul hospital attack that killed three Americans

WASHINGTON, April 24 (KUNA) -- The United States condemns the attack today in Kabul that killed three Americans working to provide health care to Afghans, a White House official said on Thursday.
"Any such attack on civilians at a hospital is despicable and cowardly," said the statement from National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden. "We send our deepest condolences to the families of all those killed and injured." "The United States continues to strongly support those in Afghanistan who abhor this violence and are working to build a peaceful, prosperous future for themselves," she said.
"We remain proud of all Americans serving in Afghanistan, working shoulder to shoulder with Afghan partners toward our shared goal of a sovereign, stable, secure and democratic Afghanistan." (end) rm
