There is a terror attack on Indian installation in Afghanistan. Pakistani elements may be behind the attack. The attack is continuation of the Jihad against India and was timed at the installation of Modi Government in Delhi.
The Indian consulate in Herat in Afghanistan was attacked on Friday, 23rd May 2014 by four heavily armed gunmen who tried to enter the complex. All four attackers were killed by ITBP police forces and Afghan security personnel and the consulate staff was safe. The attack began at 3.15 a.m. when the four gunmen tried to break into the consulate, located 600 km from Kabul. A group called Ansar al Tawhid (AaT) is suspected to be behind the attack equipped with rocket-propelled grenades. The audacious attack comes ahead of the May 26 swearing-in ceremony of Narendra Modi as India's next prime minister after the Afghan President Hamid Karzai confirmed his attendance in the oath-taking ceremony.
