WASHINGTON, Sept. 6, 2002 — Thursday's deadly bombing in Kabul, Afghanistan, was a deplorable, deliberate act that targeted innocents to spread terror, a senior Pentagon spokesperson said here today.
   "We want to express our condolences and sympathies to the people who were victims," Victoria Clarke, assistant secretary of defense for public affairs, told Pentagon reporters.
   She called the bombing, which killed at least 10 Afghans and wounded scores more, a deplorable act that deliberately targeted innocent civilians — "men, women and children who were just going about their daily business."
   The purpose of the bombing, Clarke continued, was to spread "carnage, instability and terror" to undermine the efforts of the Afghan people and their government in rebuilding the war-stricken country and establishing a free, democratic society to live and worship in peace and security. Story
