The United States Embassy in Pakistan strongly condemns Tuesday’s bombing at a marketplace in Jamrud, Khyber Agency, which callously targeted innocent people. By targeting innocent people going about their business, the extremists who plan and perpetrate these attacks show their contempt for the value of human life. We offer our sincerest condolences to the families and friends of the victims. The United States will continue to work with Pakistan to confront violent extremism and to improve personal security in Pakistan and the region.
