New York  - UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon condemned Wednesday the suicide bombing attacks on a government provincial office in Kandahar which killed at least two people and injured a large number of others, including a UN employee.

"Such attacks indiscriminately targeting people and institutions committed to building a better future for the country are morally repugnant and can only set back the efforts to foster peace, reconciliation and stability in Afghanistan," Ban said in a statement.

The attacks targeted the provincial office situated next to an office of the UN mission in Afghanistan, injuring a staff member.

Ban also sent condolences and sympathy to families of the victims and the Afghan government. (dpa)
