PAKISTAN CONDEMNS BOMB BLAST IN HERAT

The Government of Pakistan condemns the bomb explosion outside its Consulate in Herat at 1352 hours today, injuring one policeman.  The Government of Pakistan holds the Government of Afghanistan responsible for the safety and security of its personnel in its Embassy in Kabul and Consulates in Herat, Kandhar, Jalalabad and Mazar-e-Sharif. We hope that Government of Afghanistan will take its responsibility seriously.

The Ambassador of Afghanistan is being summoned to the Foreign Office to convey the grave concerns of the Government of Pakistan.
