Berlin - Germany Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier condemned Saturday's suicide bombing near the German embassy in Kabul as "barbaric act."

In a statement, the minister said: "Germany remains committed to Afghanistan. Terrorism will not lessen our resolve to continue our help for the Afghan people."

Two Afghan civilians were killed and more than 30 injured when a car loaded with explosives blew up near the embassy, which is adjacent to a US military base and a UN office building.

Several embassy staffers were among the injured, the foreign ministry said. (dpa)
