CAIRO, April 22 (Xinhua) -- Egypt condemned on Sunday the recent deadly terror attack that targeted a voter registration center in in Afghanistan's capital Kabul, the Egyptian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

The Islamic State (IS) group claimed responsibility for the suicide bombing that took place on Sunday in Dashti Barchi district of Kabul, leaving at least 36 people dead and 60 others injured.

"The Egyptian government and people stand in solidarity with the Afghan counterparts in the face of abhorrent terrorism," said the statement, calling on the international community to take a decisive position to eliminate the funding sources of terror groups.

The attack in Kabul came a few months ahead of Afghanistan's parliamentary elections scheduled to be held in October.

Later on Sunday, a roadside bombing in the northern Baghlan province killed five civilians and wounded four others.

Afghanistan has been battered by insurgency over the past couple of decades with the presence of different militant groups including the most dominant Taliban, in addition to al-Qaida and recently the IS.

Egypt also has been suffering terror activities at home that have killed hundreds of policemen and soldiers as well as civilians since the army toppled former Islamist President Mohamed Morsi in July 2013.
