KHARTOUM, Oct. 21 (Xinhua) -- Sudan's Foreign Ministry on Saturday condemned terrorist bombings which targeted two mosques in Afghanistan.

The ministry described the two incidents as "a crime contradicting all humanitarian values and principles."

It expressed condolences to the families of the victims and to the government and people of Afghanistan.

It renewed Sudan's rejection to all terrorist acts, to the terrorizing of innocent people and to the targeting of places of worship as a matter that is rejected by all "heavenly and international laws."

The ministry further stressed Sudan's full solidarity with the government and people of Afghanistan in facing the criminal acts.

The Afghani authorities announced that suicide bombers had targeted two mosques in Afghanistan during Friday's prayers, a Shiite mosque in Kabul and a Sunni mosque in Ghor province, leaving at least 72 people dead. Enditem
