Canada condemns explosions in India
October 29, 2005
STATEMENT BY THE PRIME MINISTER
Prime Minister Martin today issued the following statement, following a series of blasts in New Delhi:
“On behalf of all Canadians, I want to extend our nation’s deepest sympathies to the victims of today’s attacks in New Delhi and their families. This was a cowardly act of violence clearly aimed at innocent civilians and it is beyond deplorable. Canada strongly condemns this act, and indeed all such terrorist attacks, which have killed and injured countless men, women and children.
“The Canadian High Commission in India continues to work closely with Indian authorities to determine whether any Canadians were affected and to offer assistance. Canadian consular officials report that, at this time, there are no reports of any Canadian casualties. As additional details emerge, the Department of Foreign Affairs will report on any new information.”
