Islamabad, June 4 (IBNS): Pakistan on Monday condemned the  suicide attack on a congregation of religious scholars in Kabul. 

"Pakistan strongly condemns the suicide attack that targeted a congregation of religious scholars in Kabul. We are grieved at the loss of precious innocent lives in this barbaric act of terrorism. We express our heartfelt sympathies and condolences to the bereaved families and pray for the early recovery of the injured," read a statement issued by Pakistan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

"Pakistan reiterates its unequivocal condemnation of terrorism in all its forms and manifestations and expresses solidarity with the people and Government of Afghanistan in this hour of grief and sorrow," it said.

At least 14 people were killed in the attack.

Among the deceased are seven religious scholars and four security guards.

Three others have not yet been identified.

Reports said that the incident took place after a suicide bomber detonated his explosive device  near a religious gathering.

Over 2,000 religious scholars had gathered at Polytechnic University in Kabul, condemning the ongoing war in Afghanistan.

The explosion took place while they were leaving, witnesses said.

Meanwhile, Taliban has denied its involvement in the attack.

Taliban spokesman Zabiullah Mujahid issued a statement after the attack, saying the  group has no links with the explosion in Polytechnic University, reported Khaama Press.
