May 14, 2015 12:03

Narendra Modi @narendramodi Spoke to President @ashrafghani & offered condolences on loss of lives due to the Kabul attack. We are one when it comes to fighting terror.

That was about a terror attack in Kabul last night. Gunmen stormed a guesthouse in the Afghan capital on Wednesday evening as it hosted a party for foreigners. Authorities said 14 people, including 4 Indians and the attackers, were killed during the five-hour long siege that ended early Thursday morning. Six people were wounded and 54 hostages rescued. The brutal assault was reminiscent of two attacks by Taliban fighters in Kabul last year, one on a restaurant and another on a hotel.
