New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi has strongly condemned the cowardly terrorist attack at Kabul University, in which many were killed.
“I strongly condemn the cowardly terrorist attack at Kabul University today. Our prayers are with the families of the victims and the injured. We will continue to support Afghanistan’s brave struggle against terrorism”, the Prime Minister said.
Gunmen stormed Kabul University on Monday as it hosted a book fair attended by the Iranian ambassador to Afghanistan.
After an hour’s-long gun battle, 25 were dead and several wounded at the war-torn country’s largest school.
The government’s spokesman, Tariq Arian, said there were three attackers involved in the assault, all of whom were killed in the ensuing firefight.
