I extend my deepest sympathies to the victims of this horrendous attack and to their families and loved ones.

I strongly condemn this despicable attack by the Taliban against those who were serving to help improve conditions in Afghanistan.

Those who commit such murderous acts have no place in the future of this country.

– Gen. John F. Campbell, ISAF commander
