Statement by UN Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Afghanistan, Staffan de Mistura
10 June 2010 - I am shocked and deeply saddened at the loss of life and large number of those injured last night in Nagahan village, Arghandab in Kandahar.
I condemn this outrageous act. To specifically target people who were gathering at a moment of happiness to celebrate a wedding shows a total disregard for civilian life.
The thoughts of all United Nations staff across Afghanistan are with the families who have lost loved ones and we wish for a speedy recovery of those who were injured in this attack.
