Statement by the Press Secretary on the Attack in Afghanistan

We express our deepest condolences to the families of the six U.S. service members killed and to all of those injured in today’s Taliban attack near Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan.  Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, their families, and their loved ones.  The United States condemns this cowardly attack on members of the U.S. and Afghan forces, and  we remain committed to supporting the Afghan people and their government. We will continue to work together to promote peace and stability in Afghanistan, just as we will not relent in our mission to counter the threat of terrorism that plagues the region.
