The Secretary General of the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Professor Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu has condemned the series of terrorist attacks in the Afghan capital Kabul and provinces of Logar, Paktia and Nangarhar on 15 April 2012, targeting government buildings and diplomatic premises, in which dozens of civilians and Afghan security forces were killed or injured. While expressing his shock over these bloody attacks, the Secretary General emphasized that Afghanistan needs more than at any other time to stabilize the security situation in the run-up to the transitional period. He reiterated the imperative of refraining from violence which hinders the smooth implementation of the national reconciliation, reintegration and reconstruction programs for the benefit of the Afghan people. The Secretary General further reaffirmed the OIC support for all efforts deployed by the Afghan Government and people to restore security, peace and stability to their country
