KABUL -- The Afghan Foreign Ministry on Thursday described attacks on international soldiers as "coward" act of terrorists and condemned it.

The attacks which targeted Canadian and Australian forces in Afghanistan's troubled southern region on Wednesday claimed the lives of three Canadian soldiers and wounded nine Australians respectively in Kandahar and Uruzgan provinces.

"Afghanistan's Foreign Ministry strongly condemns the attack of terrorists on Canadian troops which claimed the lives of three soldiers," a statement of foreign ministry released here said.  

In the statement, the foreign ministry also expressed its sympathy with the victims' families as well as with the people and the government of Canada.

The Afghan Foreign Ministry in a similar statement denounced the attack on Australian troops that left nine soldiers wounded and noted that such attacks could not undermine Australian support to Afghanistan.

The Afghan Foreign Ministry, besides thanking both Canada and Australia for their contribution towards rebuilding Afghanistan, stressed that "terrorism is a threat to the region and the world, and winning the war on terror requires destroying terrorists' resources outside Afghanistan."  

However, it did not elaborate.

The Afghan government often accuses Pakistan of supporting Taliban insurgents, a claim rejected by Islamabad as baseless.
