Secretary of State Mike Pompeo condemned two separate attacks on a hospital and funeral, respectively, in Afghanistan Tuesday and called on both the Afghani government and the Taliban to work together to seek justice. SIEGE ON AFGHAN HOSPITAL MATERNITY WARD LEAVES MORE THAN A DOZEN, INCLUDING BABIES, DEADGunmen dressed as police raided a maternity ward in a hospital in Kabul, operated by the international humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders, killing 13 -- including infants, new mothers and hospital workers. “Any attack on innocents is unforgivable, but to attack infants and women in labor in the sanctuary of a hospital is an act of sheer evil,” Pompeo said in Tuesday’s statement. “We note the Taliban have denied any responsibility and condemned both attacks as heinous,” Pompeo said. But according to Reuters' reporting, Taliban attacks against Afghani security forces have increased since American troops started pulling out.
