MPs at the Wolesi Jirga (Lower House of Parliament) on Wednesday condemned Tuesday’s tragic explosions and said President Ashraf Ghani must be summoned to brief them on the chain of events that claimed the lives of dozens of people in a string of explosions.

 “If you look at CCTV footage, a white Corolla vehicle explodes 10 minutes (after the first explosion). Now you can imagine the negligence of security personnel,” MP Abdul Qadir Zazai said.

The government of the United Arab Emirates on Wednesday ordered three days of national mourning, and all flags to be flown at half-mast, after five UAE diplomats were killed in the deadly bombing in Kandahar on Tuesday.

The UAE Ambassador to Afghanistan Juma Mohammed Abdullah Al Kaabi was also wounded in the incident.
