Prime Minister Manmohan Singh today described as “worrisome” reports that Indian Consulate General in Jalalabad was the target of a terror plot in Afghanistan.
“If what you have stated is true,well it is worrisome,” Singh said when asked to comment on the plot during a joint press conference with Afghan President Hamid Karzai.
He said the men were paid by a “foreign intelligence service” to attack the consulate in eastern Afghanistan and given a vehicle and weapons apart from money to carry out the attack.
“As I said in my introductory remarks,peace and security in the region requires all countries of the region to think afresh the futility of having recourse to terrorism as an instrument of state policy,” the Prime Minister said. Singh,here on a two-day visit here,today held talks with Karzai on a wide range of issues including terrorism and India’s assistance to the war-torn country.
