Kabul, Aug 23 (IBNS): Afghanistan President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani on Sunday condemned the deadly suicide bombing in Kabul city which left 14 people killed.

Three non-military contractors of the Resolute Support and 66 others were wounded in the suicide attack that rocked Kabul on Saturday, media reports said.

“The aim of the enemies of Afghanistan is to kill innocent civilians, because they have lost morale to fight against Afghan forces," Pajhwok Afghan News quoted a statement from the country's Presidential Palace.

The president reportedly vowed that all measures would be adopted to eliminate terrorists’ activities.

The massive explosion took place in front of the Shinozada Hospital in the limits of the 9th police district at around 4:30pm, police told Pajhwok Afghan News.
