The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), United States and Germany strongly reacted to deadly Taliban insider in southern Zabul province.

I condemn the savage Taliban attack on the Afghan security forces in Zabul.

Shameful., the NATO Senior Civilian Representative said in a Twitter post.

The U.S. Embassy in Kabul also issued a statement on Twitter and strongly condemned the attack. We strongly condemn Fridays attack in Zabul & offer our condolences to the brave ANDSF & their families. Afghan security forces honor #Afghanistan by their dedication & service. In the midst of a global pandemic & on Nowruz, attacks like these are obscene. Time for peace is now.

Meanwhile, the German Ambassador to Afghanistan Peter Prugel said in a Twitter post Outraged by todays heinous #Taliban attack on #ANDSF forces in Zabul. On the day of Nowruz and in face of a global pandemic, this savage act sheds serious doubts on the #Talibans commitment to peace.
