OAS Secretary General Sends Condolences over the Victims of Attack in Afghanistan
January 21, 2014
The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, offered his condolences and those of the institution he leads for the victims of the attack on Friday that took the lives of 21 people in Kabul, Afghanistan, among them the representative of the IMF in the country, Wadel Abdallah, and four United Nations officials.
The leader of the hemispheric Organization condemned the act and expressed his “deep sadness for the pain once again caused by the indiscriminate violence of terrorism.” Among the victims identified to this point are citizens of OAS member states Canada and the United States, as well as Afghanistan itself, the United Kingdom and Denmark.
Secretary General Insulza sent “a fraternal salute to the sister international organizations who lost officials who were engaged in works of cooperation and support for countries in the midst of very complex crises that imply, as unfortunately has happened, putting their own lives at risk.”
