The Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Prof Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu has strongly condemned the bomb attack on 14th July, 2011, on mourners in a Mosque in Kandahar in which a senior Afghan cleric was killed along with three others while dozens of people were injured. In a statement, Prof Ihsanoglu, who expressed dismay that such horrific act could be committed in a sacred place like a mosque on mourners, described the crime as an inhuman and cowardly act which negates the noble Islamic values. He conveyed his sincere condolences to the families of the deceased, the government and people of Afghanistan and prayed for the quick recovery of the injured.
