Afghan President Ashraf Ghani called an emergency meeting of senior officials and tweeted that he “strongly condemns the cowardly attack in the holy month of Ramadan targeting innocent civilians in their daily life.”
Mirwais Yasini, a lawmaker from the eastern province of Nangarhar who visited the blast site, blamed Ghani’s government, wondering how such a large car bomb could have penetrated the city center, which is lined with checkpoints manned by Afghan security forces.
Yasini cited a series of recent deadly attacks, including against a military hospital in Kabul in March and on an army base in the northern city of Mazar-e-Sharif that killed more than 100 soldiers last month.
“This is a complete disaster of the government,” Yasini said. “Ghani is not doing his job. He has completely failed and he should resign.”
