The attack occurred in the Faryab province and left three ISAF members dead; four members of the Afghan security forces and six civilians were also killed. Many civilians, coalition members and Afghan security personnel were injured in attack.
An IED was used in the attack, a form of bomb that is all too commonly used in attacks in the country and responsible for many of the casualties caused to the coalition.
Marine Corps John R. Allen said:
'Despicable' is the only word to describe the cold, heartless way in which the enemies of peace carried out this attack -- detonating an IED in the middle of a large crowd of civilians."
"My deepest condolences are with all the families of those killed yesterday, and the entire ISAF community prays for the complete recovery of those injured."
"Our partnership with the [Afghan forces] is resolute, intractable, and will not be deterred by these evil and cowardly attacks of desperation," Allen continued. "We are committed to the long-term partnership with our brave Afghan brothers to help them assume responsibility for the security of the Afghan population."
The ISAF announced yesterday that materials used to make mortar bombs and IEDs were uncovered in the Sayyidabad district of the Wardak province and on 3 April the coalition seized and destroyed weapons and components from the Tulak district of Ghor province; insurgents were detained.as part of the operation.
