Taliban groups committed a terrorist attack May 2, 2012 in the neighborhood of Kabul in an area where international organizations and representations of Western agencies are located. The suicide bombing caused the death of six persons. Hungarian nationals were not injured or killed in the blast according to the sources of the Hungarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The colleagues of the Hungarian Embassy in Kabul, the military and civilian personnel of the Hungarian ISAF mission are safe and secure.

The Government of Hungary most firmly condemns all violent acts and regards them as unjustifiable. Hungary’s commitment to the reinforcement of peace and security in Afghanistan and to the reconstruction of the country will not be influenced by such and similar terrorist actions.
