India raps terrorist attack in Iran�s Chabahar

7 Dec 2018 - 13:13


Tasnim � The Ministry of External Affairs of India strongly condemned a Thursday terrorist attack in Iran�s southeastern port city of Chabahar where a suicide car blast killed at least 2 and injured a number of others.

�We express our condolences to the government and the people of Iran and the families of the victims of this attack,� India�s Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement on Thursday.

India condemns the �despicable terror� attack, the ministry said, adding, �We wish speedy recovery to those injured. The perpetrators behind this dastardly attack should be brought to justice expeditiously.�

�There can be no justification for any act of terror,� the statement concluded, according to The Indian Express.

On Thursday morning, an explosive-laden vehicle attacked the police headquarters in Chabahar, killing two sentries and injuring a number of other people, including passersby.

No group has so far claimed responsibility for the terrorist attack.

In 2016, India entered into a trilateral treaty with Iran and Afghanistan to develop a new transportation corridor connecting the three countries and other Central Asian Countries via the Chabahar Port.

Chabahar provides India with an easier land-sea route to Afghanistan. In November 2017, India sent its first cargo of wheat to Afghanistan through Chabahar in what appeared to be a run dry of a multi-modal connectivity route. The cargo was shipped from India�s western port of Kandla, unloaded at Chabahar and eventually taken to Afghanistan�s Nimroz province by trucks.
