Saudi Arabia condemned on Monday the terrorist attack that targeted a police headquarters in Afghanistan’s northern city of Pul-e-Khumri, reported the Saudi Press Agency.
A source at the Foreign Ministry offered the Kingdom’s condolences to the relatives of the victims and government and people of Afghanistan.
It stressed that Riyadh stands by Kabul against all forms of violence, terrorism and extremism.
At least 13 people were killed in Sunday’s terrorist attack in Pul-e-Khumri when Taliban insurgents stormed a police headquarters after a suicide bomber blew up his explosive-laden car.
A Taliban militant detonated his Humvee vehicle at the entrance of the police office before a group of eight attackers armed with machine guns rushed in the building, two Afghan officials said.
"Thirteen policemen were killed and 35 others injured," said Nasrat Rahimi, a spokesman at the Interior Ministry in Kabul, adding that 20 civilians were also wounded.
Bahrain also condemned the terrorist attack.
The Bahraini Foreign Ministry expressed its condolences to the families of the victims, wishing the injured a speedy recovery.
The Ministry affirmed the solidarity of the Kingdom with Afghanistan, reiterating its firm position that rejects all forms of violence, extremism and terrorism.
