ISLAMABAD - India and the United States (US) have swiftly responded over the twin terror attacks in Pakistan.
Duo condemned the twin attacks in Pakistan on Friday, denouncing the involvement of terror groups.
While 32 were killed and dozens injured when a bomb hidden in a carton of vegetables ripped through a crowded marketplace in Kalaya Bazar area of lower Orakzai tribal district, security forces in Karachi foiled a terror attack targeting the Chinese consulate situated in Clifton area.
The attack in Karachi was reportedly claimed by the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA). Pakistan has long accused New Delhi of supporting the Baloch separatists. The two countries have a history of bitter relations and have fought two of their three wars over the disputed region of Kashmir since gaining independence from Britain in 1947.
India’s foreign ministry condemned the bid to attack the Chinese consulate in the Pakistani port city, saying that “there can be no justification whatsoever for any act of terrorism.”
