Washington, Jan. 28 (TNS): US President Donald Trump called for “decisive action” against the Taliban and their supporters after a bomb attack killed at least 95 people in one of the biggest blasts to rock war-torn Kabul in years.
“I condemn the despicable car bombing attack in Kabul today that has left scores of innocent civilians dead and hundreds injured. This murderous attack renews our resolve and that of our Afghan partners,” Trump said in a statement.
“Now, all countries should take decisive action against the Taliban and the terrorist infrastructure that supports them,” he added.
Although the US president did not name any specific countries, Washington has repeatedly accused Pakistan of “neglect” in cracking down on militant groups such as the Taliban or their Haqqani networks.
Trump lashed out at the government in Islamabad on the first day of the New Year, denouncing Pakistan’s “lies” and “deceit” in the fight against terrorism – with the US suspending hundreds of millions of dollars in security assistance.
