MADRID, 19 May. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation, José Manuel Albares, has “firmly” condemned the attack claimed by the Islamic State in Afghanistan last Friday in which three Spanish tourists and other nationalities died.
Albares also wished the injured a speedy recovery. “Our thoughts are with their families,” she wrote in a message on the social network X, collected by Europa Press.
Likewise, he assured that Spain will continue working against terrorism and in the coalition “against Daesh” so that “these crimes do not go unpunished.”
In line, he confirmed that the two Spaniards who were unharmed in the attack are already outside Afghanistan and that the operation to repatriate the rest of the Spanish victims “is still underway.”
This Sunday, the Islamic State claimed responsibility for the attack in which six people died, including three Spanish tourists, in a market in the city of Bamiyan.
“Islamic State fighters attacked a tourist bus for coalition citizens the day before yesterday that was touring the city. The fighters targeted Christian tourists and their companions,” reported the Amaq news agency, related to the jihadist organization.
