Indonesia condemns suicide blast in Pakistan's Lahore

Xinhua, March 28, 2016 Adjust font size:

Indonesia condemned on Monday the suicide bombing that killed at least 69 people including a large number of women and children, and injured over 300 others in Pakistan's eastern Lahore city on Sunday evening.

"Indonesia strongly condemns the bomb attack in Lahore. Any terror acts on behalf of anything is not right," said Indonesian President Joko Widodo in a statement on Monday.

He also extended his deepest condolences to the victims and people of Pakistan.

Indonesia's Foreign Affairs Ministry said that no Indonesians were killed in the deadly incident for which a Pakistan Taliban splinter group has claimed responsibility.

The group said that they intentionally targeted Christians amid the Easter Sunday celebrations. Endit
