KABUL, Afghanistan - "I would like to express my deepest sympathies to the families of the four brave French soldiers killed in today's attack in Kapisa province. Today, we mourn with France. In addition, those soldiers wounded and their families are in my most fervent prayers for healing and recovery. We are committed to continuing to work with the Government of Afghanistan to resolve this very serious issue of individuals targeting our forces. We will pursue a full and complete investigation and will work closely with France on the outcome.
I join Afghanistan’s President Karzai in acknowledging France’s generous and extensive assistance to the people of Afghanistan over the years. I am forever grateful to these soldiers of France for their exceptional courage, dedication to duty, character, and service to their homeland. They will always be remembered."
