Washington, DC (BBN) – A U.S. government aid worker was killed in a suicide attack in Afghanistan on Wednesday, according to an official statement.
The United States has strongly condemns Wednesday’s suicide attack in the country’s  Kunar province that killed USAID Foreign Service Officer Ragaei Abdelfattah, three ISAF service members and an Afghan civilian, and injured a State Department Foreign Service officer. 
“On behalf of President Obama and the American people, I have sent my deepest condolences to Ragaei’s family and to the entire U.S. Mission in Afghanistan,” Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said in a statement.
“Yesterday’s tragic incident is a reminder of our shared mission and shared sacrifice. It strengthens our resolve to continue working with the Afghan people to build their economy, democratic institutions, rule of law, and security so that Afghanistan can stand on its own as a stable, secure, and increasingly prosperous country,” Clinton noted.
