(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Karzai said the bombing was carried out by enemies of the ordinary people who are against the peace and stability of the region.
He offered his condolences to the families of the victims and once again urged for joint and honest war against terrorism, Khaama Press reported.
A suicide-bomb targeting Shiite Hazaras in a busy market in Pakistan's restive Southwest killed at least 81 people including women and children and wounded 200 others.
The powerful bomb in a water tanker ripped through a packed bazaar near Hazara town, an area dominated by Shiites on the outskirts of Quetta, capital of oil and gas rich Balochistan province, at around 6:00 pm (local time) on Saturday.
"We have recovered more dead bodies from the debris of a collapsed building…," senior Quetta police official Wazir Khan Nasir told AFP.
Quetta city police chief Zubair Mehmood said the water tanker, which officials said was packed with some 800 kilograms of explosives, was placed near a pillar of a two-story building, which collapsed in the blast.
Members of the minority Shiite sect took to the city's streets in angry protest, blocking roads with burning tires and throwing stones at passing vehicles.
Police cordoned off the area. Most of the Shiites in the area are Hazaras, and they were quick to blame Lashker-e-Jhangvi, which later claimed responsibility for the attack.
Quetta is the capital of Baluchistan province, where the Shiite minority has been attacked several times in recent months.
