Govt rubbishes Pak media report on Taliban attack on Indians




New Delhi, Jul 11 (PTI) The Indian government on
Saturday rubbished a Pakistani media report which claimed that
six Indians had been killed in a terror attack in Afghanistan.

Sources in the External Affairs Ministry said that no
Indian was killed in any attack anywhere in Afghanistan.

"We checked up and found that this report is untrue,"
a source in the ministry said.

Pakistan's Dawn News TV channel had Friday night
claimed that six Indians were among 18 killed in an attack by
Taliban in Paktia province of Afghanistan.

On earlier occasions too Pakistani media had issued
such reports which India feels are part of malicious campaign
to scare away Indians engaged in reconstruction and
development works in Afghanistan. PTI AKK
