Australia’s prime minister has told Parliament that he telephoned Afghan President Ashraf Ghani “to restate Australia’s resolve to assist and support Afghanistan in its fight against Islamist terrorism.”

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said Thursday that the deadly truck explosion that killed 90 people had occurred less than one kilometre (less than a mile) from the Australian Embassy, which he had visited five weeks ago, and had left staff “very shaken.”
