鈥淚 strongly condemn this terrorist attack in Kabul for which the Taliban have claimed responsibility. I can confirm that a dual British-Afghan national, who was working for the British Council, died in the attack. His family has been informed and consular staff are providing support at this difficult time. My thoughts are with his family, friends and colleagues.

鈥淭his incident brings home to us once again the courage and perseverance of the people of Afghanistan and members of the international community who support them.

鈥淭hese callous acts of terrorism against innocent civilians must not be allowed to threaten a more peaceful future for Afghanistan.鈥�
