Manmohan urges Karzai to protect Indians


Prime Minister Manmohan Singh expressed “outrage” over the killing of at least six Indians in the bomb blasts in Kabul aimed at two guest houses favoured by foreigners. In a telephonic conversation with Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai, Dr. Singh appreciated the timely medical assistance to those injured in the blast and requested him to ensure full protection of Indians working there on humanitarian projects. Mr. Karzai had called up Dr. Singh to express his condolences on the death of Indian nationals in the attacks in Kabul. Government sources familiar with the incident said the violence was targeted at “foreigners in general and Indians in particular” at the guest house they were known to frequent.
