Iran condemns ISIL-led terrorist attack in Kabul

TEHRAN, Mar. 22 (MNA) – Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Bahram Ghasemi strongly condemned Thursday attack in Kabul which was launched by ISIL terrorists.

The culture of Nowruz is a unifying force among the various ethnic groups of regional countries, he said adding, the attack shows that ISIL is unifying elements in the region.

“We are sure that they [ISIL] will not achieve their sinister intentions to create divisions among regional countries,” he stressed.
