KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — An Afghan police official says three suicide bombers have tried to attack the Indian consulate in the eastern city of Jalalabad but were killed before they got to the building.

Masum Khan Hashimi, who is deputy police chief of Nangarhar province, said there were nonetheless numerous civilian casualties from Saturday's attack because one of the bombers blew up a car bomb on the busy street where the Indian consulate is located.

Hashimi did not know if there were dead among the casualties.

In New Delhi, India's External Affairs Ministry spokesman Syed Akbaruddin says that all Indian officials in the consulate are safe.

Afghan official: Indian consulate attacked in east

 

[ares]

the mentioned news claimed an attack on envoy head based in kabul and this attack was on consulate in jalalabad. Both r way off target.

Where as American have closed all their embassies through out the Islamic world today, because of concrete terrorism alert.

Targets always change once intelligence about them is leaked to the media.
