SECURITY COUNCIL STRONGLY CONDEMNS TALIBAN ATTACK ON US CONSULATE IN HERAT
New York, Sep 14 2013 12:00AM
Strongly condemning the Taliban bombing attack against the United
States Consulate in Herat, the United Nations Security Council today
urged broad cooperation to ensure the perpetrators are brought to
justice and reiterated that "no terrorist act can reverse the path
towards Afghan-led peace, democracy and stability in Afghanistan."

In a statement to the press issued in New York, the Council's 15
members condemned the attack - reportedly a suicide truck bombing - on
the US consulate in the Western Afghan province, for which the Taliban
have claimed responsibility.

The Security Council in its statement expressed deep sympathy and
sincere condolences to the families of the victims of this "heinous"
act, and to the Government and people of Afghanistan.

Council members also condemned acts of violence against diplomatic and
consular representatives, which endanger or take innocent lives and
seriously impede the normal work of such representatives and
officials.

Further to the statement, the Council reiterated its "serious concern"
at the threats posed by the Taliban, Al-Qaida and illegal armed groups
to the local population, national security forces, diplomatic
facilities, international military and international assistance
efforts in Afghanistan, particularly in light of a number of recent
terrorist attacks in Kabul and elsewhere in the country.

"The members of the Security Council underlined the need to bring
perpetrators, organizers, financiers and sponsors of these
reprehensible acts of terrorism to justice, and urged all States, in
accordance with their obligations under international law and relevant
Security Council resolutions, to cooperate actively with the Afghan
authorities in this regard," the statement stresses.

Reaffirming that terrorism "in all its forms and manifestations" is
criminal and unjustifiable, the Council also reaffirmed the need to
combat by all means, in accordance with the UN Charter and all
obligations under international law, threats to international peace
and security caused by terrorist acts.

Finally the members of the Council reiterated that no terrorist act
can reverse the path towards Afghan-led peace, democracy and stability
in Afghanistan, "which is supported by the people and the Government
of Afghanistan and the international community."
