India will not be intimidated by these criminal killers: Tharoor |
Minister of State for External Affairs
Shashi Tharoor said that India will not be intimidated by suicide bomb attacks
like the one that rocked the Indian Embassy in Kabul on Thursday. "India will
not be intimidated by these criminal killers. We will take all steps necessary
to protect Indian lives and installations in Afghanistan," Tharoor said in his
posting on Twitter, a social networking site. Tharoor also condemned the bomb
blast that killed 17 people and injured 83, and said: "Tragic news from Kabul
of another bomb attack near our embassy. Indians safe, but many Afghan casualties.
Our condolences." Earlier in the day, a Ministry of External Affairs spokesman
said the blast took place at 8.27 a.m., and added that the walls of the complex
had sustained some damage. The blast tore through a market building across the
street from the heavily fortified embassy compound, leaving rubble and debris
strewn across the road, where the Afghan Interior Ministry is also located. |
