KABUL, Afghanistan – ISAF condemns the suicide attack in the Zaranj District of Nimroz province on Wednesday killing and wounding Afghan citizens and police forces.

The suicide bombers apparently targeted the governor's house and provincial court building in their attack.

Afghan security forces responded to the scene of the attack and engaged the remaining bombers.

"We condemn this callous attack against the Afghan people," said Brig. Gen. Josef Blotz, ISAF Spokesperson. "The professionalism of the Afghan national police in defeating the attack is a demonstration of their capability to respond to security challenges. This attack further indicates the insurgents' disregard for human life and progress towards a better future for all Afghans."
