In a message condemning the assassination of the prominent Iranian nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, the Afghan Foreign Ministry expressed sympathy with his family and Iranian people and government.
Yesterday, Abdul Latif Pedram the leader of the National Congress Party of Afghanistan sent a message of condolences on the martyrdom of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh.
Condemning the assassination of the Iranian scientist, he said, "The information about this event proves the traces of the Zionist regime in the assassination of the scientist and physicist of our civilization."
