The Indian Government on Thursday condemned the twin terror attacks that rocked Kabul and resolved to work with Afghanistan to bring the perpetrators of terrorist violence to justice.
“India has been a victim of terrorist violence and understands the pain and suffering of the people of Afghanistan. We reiterate our resolve to work with Afghanistan to bring the perpetrators of terrorist violence to the justice they deserve wherever they may be,” the External Affairs Ministry said in a statement.
The Indian government also conveyed condolences to the people and Government of Afghanistan for the loss of lives and property.
“It is our sincere hope that the injured will make early recovery,” the statement added.
The twin attacks struck Kabul on Wednesday afternoon. First, a suicide car bomber targeted a police station in western Kabul. The explosion was followed by a gun battle between the police and several attackers. In the second attack, a bomber detonated explosives outside offices of the intelligence service in eastern Kabul.
Around 16 persons were killed and several injured in the attack.
