NEW YORK - The Secretary-General strongly condemns the horrific attack at Kabul University in Afghanistan. He expresses his deepest sympathies to the families of the victims and wishes a speedy recovery to those injured. This appalling attack, the second in ten days on a school facility in Kabul, is also an assault on the human right to education. 

The Secretary-General reiterates that those responsible must be held accountable. 

The United Nations stands by the people and Government of Afghanistan in support of their long-held aspirations for peace.
