The US Chargé d’Affaires in Afghanistan, Ross Wilson on Monday has expressed sadness on the recent terrorist attacks in the eastern provinces of Nangarhar and Laghman.

“I condemn the rise in violence,” Wilson said, “In a year that held out such promises and hope, there has been far too much tragedy in Afghanistan.”

Wilson called for a comprehensive ceasefire in the country, saying that “one death caused by political violence is too many.” A car bombing that targeted the convey governor of Laghman killed eight people and wounded 36 others.
