MNA � Iran�s Foreign Ministry�Spokesman�Bahram�Ghasemi has strongly� denounced a suicide�attack on a gathering in the Afghan capital, Kabul, where some government officials were also present.







�By conducting such moves, terrorist groups, including the ISIL, seek to�create terror and rifts within the ranks of the Afghan government and people,��Ghasemi said�in�a statement released on Thursday night.

The spokesman�said��the vigilance of all Afghan state entities and people holds the key to stopping these groups from achieving their evil goals.�
