Indian PM condemns bomb attacks in Afghan capital

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday condemned the bomb attacks in Afghanistan's capital Kabul, which left at least 35 people dead.

"I strongly condemn the gruesome & cowardly attacks in Afghanistan. My thoughts are with families of the deceased & prayers with the injured," the Prime Minister's Office said in a tweet.

At least 35 people were killed and hundreds more injured in bomb attacks in Kabul on Friday and Saturday.

A suicide bomber blew himself up near the city's police academy on Friday evening, killing 20 recruits, while a truck bomb went off early Saturday in the largely residential Shah Shahid area, causing one of the largest explosions the city has ever experienced and leaving 15 dead.
