CANADA DEPLORES TERRORIST ATTACK IN INDIA
Foreign Affairs Minister Lloyd Axworthy today deplored the April 28 bus bombing in
New Delhi, India, which claimed the lives of 13 people.
"The death of these innocent civilians at the hands of terrorists is tragic and
senseless. Canada extends its sincere condolences to the families of the
victims," said Mr. Axworthy.
This bus bombing follows an explosion on April 20 at a boarding house in New
Delhi, which took the lives of 17 people. A Kashmiri militant group has claimed
responsibility for both terrorist attacks. "The use of violence to achieve
political ends can never be condoned," concluded Mr. Axworthy.
