WASHINGTON: The United States will stand side-by-side with Pakistan in its fight against terrorism, the US State Department said on Wednesday after a terrorist attack on a university in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
"The United States strongly condemns attack on Bacha Khan University in Charsadda. We offer our deepest condolences to the victims and their families during this time of grief," the statement said.
"It is particularly appalling that these terrorists continue to attack educational institutions, targeting Pakistan's future generations," it said and added that the United States stands with the government and people of Pakistan and their efforts to create a secure, stable, and prosperous country."
Ned Price, spokesman National Security Council, also condemned the Pakistan attack in a statement issued by the White House. He also condemned the attack on a bus carrying members of the media in Kabul.
"These reprehensible attacks, against students and teachers in Pakistan and members of the media in Afghanistan, underscore the ongoing threat that terrorists pose to the region and to the peaceful and prosperous future we seek to build together," the spokesman said.
"We offer our deepest condolences to the victims of the attacks and to their families, and we stand with the people of the region against all forms of extremism and terrorism."
