Afghanistan’s health minister also confirmed to CNN that as many as 60 civilians had died in the blasts, with many more injured.

In a statement, the former president of the United States said: “‘ Melania and I send our deepest condolences to the families of our brilliant and courageous Service Members whose duty in the USA is very important to them.

“Our thoughts also include the families of the innocent civilians who died today in Kabul’s brutal attack.”

“This tragedy should never be allowed to happen, which makes our grief deeper and more complex,” he added.

His wife, Melania, also expressed her deep sympathy through her Twitter account.

The former FLOTUS posted: “‘We pray for the families and loved ones of the sea heroes who were killed in Kabul and for all who are suffering during this difficult time.’

In a statement on his website titled “Surrender-in-Chief”, he wrote: “Joe Biden promised Americans a future of growth, strength, diplomacy, and power.

“He told us that“ America is back. “Instead, he withdrew troops from Afghanistan before removing our weapons, our allies, or even our own citizens.

“Joe Biden retreated to our enemies and failed to protect our allies. Under Joe Biden, the Taliban came back – not to America.”
