Iran's Foreign Ministry has condemned the recent suicide bomb attack in the Afghan capital of Kabul, urging a collective campaign against terrorism, Tasnim news agency reported on Sunday.

The attack is "inhumane and non-Islamic" and tackling terrorism would be impossible without global cooperation and mutual understanding within the international community, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qasemi said, Xinhua news agency reported.

Qasemi offered condolences to the Afghan government, nation and families of victims.

On Saturday, at least 61 people were killed and more than 200 others wounded after an explosion ripped through a peaceful demonstration in western Kabul.
