PM Modi strongly condemns terrorist attack on Kabul University

New Delhi: PM Narendra Modi has strongly condemned the terrorist attack on Kabul University. PM Narendra Modi tweeted, I strongly condemn the dastardly terrorist attack on Kabul University. Our condolences to the relatives and injured of the dead. We will continue to support Afghanistan's courageous struggle against terrorism.

Let me tell you that there was an encounter for several hours between gunmen and security forces at Kabul University in Afghanistan on Monday. According to preliminary information, 25 people were killed in this encounter, while many others were said to have been injured. Actually, a book fair was set up in the university. During this time the Ambassador of Iran also reached there.

The attack comes at a time when peace talks are going on with the US government backed by the rebels. However, the talks in Qatar are aimed at helping the US get out of its longest battle. But the bloodshed continues daily. An organization associated with the Islamic State has started attacking Shiites in the country.

During the five-hour encounter, sporadic grenade explosions and firing of automatic weapons were heard on the streets around the university. The three terrorists involved in the attack were also killed. No terrorist organization has claimed responsibility for this attack. The notorious terrorist organization, the Taliban, issued a statement denying their involvement in the attack.

During the five-hour encounter, sporadic grenade explosions and firing of automatic weapons were heard on the streets around the university. On the other hand, Afghan security personnel also maintained a front. The student was seen running away to save his life.

Afghan media has reported that the book exhibition was going on at the university at the time of the incident and many people, including distinguished persons, were at the exhibition during the shootout. Afghan officials did not discuss the book fair, but Iran's semi-governmental Isna Dialogue Committee reported on Sunday that Iran's ambassador Bahdor Aminian and cultural attache Mojtaba Norooji were about to inaugurate the fair, where 40 Iranian publishers are to participate.
