Delhi Terror Attack: International condemnation Follows Red Fort blast
A car bomb near the Red Fort in Delhi on November 10th has been widely condemned as a terrorist attack, prompting international expressions of support for India and a swift investigation led by the National investigation agency.
The attack, described as “shocking” and “saddening” by German Ambassador Dr. Philipp Ackermann, resulted in at least 12 fatalities, with numerous others injured and some remains yet to be identified. Speaking to reporters, the Ambassador conveyed his condolences to the people of India, stating, “It is a terror attack, obviously. my heart goes out to those who lost their loved ones, those who are injured.”
The incident, which occurred around 7 pm near the Subhash Marg traffic signal, involved a slow-moving Hyundai i20 car that exploded. According to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, authorities are treating the blast as a purposeful act of terror.
Investigation Uncovers Premeditation and Potential Network
Security agencies have recovered diaries belonging to two key suspects, identified as Dr. Umar and Dr.Muzammil, which suggest the attack was planned between november 8th and 12th. Sources indicate the diaries contain the names of approximately 25 individuals, with a meaningful number originating from Jammu and Kashmir and faridabad. This finding points to a potentially wider network involved in the planning and execution of the attack.
International Response and Support for India
The international community has swiftly responded to the tragedy. U.S. Secretary of state Marco Rubio characterized the blast as a “clearly” a “terrorist attack” and praised India’s investigative capabilities. He affirmed the United States’ willingness to assist, but noted, “I think they (India) are very capable of these investigations…India doesn’t need our help, and they are doing a good job.”
The Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, expressed “profound grief” over the loss of life, labeling the incident a “heinous terror incident.” The Cabinet directed that the investigation be pursued with “the utmost urgency and professionalism” to bring all those responsible to justice.
The National investigation Agency (NIA) is currently leading the probe, working to identify all perpetrators, collaborators, and those who may have provided financial or logistical support.
This incident underscores the ongoing threat of terrorism and the importance of international cooperation in combating it.
