Delhi blast: Canada asks its citizens to be alert

By IANS,

New Delhi : Reiterating its solidarity with India, Canada has offered support in bringing to book the perpetrators of Wednesday’s despicable bomb attack outside the Delhi high court and asked its citizens here to remain extremely vigilant.

“This attack is a stark reminder that terrorists remain active around the world. We need to continue to work together to counter those who perpetrate these atrocities,” Canada’s Foreign Minister John Baird said in a statement late Wednesday night.

“Once again, Canada stands in solidarity with the government and people of India in their fight against terrorism,” he said.

“We offer our support as India works to bring to justice those responsible for this despicable attack against innocent civilians,” he stressed.

“We advise Canadians in New Delhi to be extremely vigilant, follow the advice of local authorities and monitor local media,” said the Canadian foreign minister.

A bomb explosion outside the Delhi High Court Wednesday left 12 people dead and more than 90 others injured.
