Washington, May The United States ‘strongly condemned’ the terrorist attack at the University of Karachi that killed four people, including three Chinese nationals.
As per Pakistani local media, at least four people were killed while four sustained injuries in a suicide explosion at the premises of the University of Karachi on April 26 outside Confucius Institute.
Addressing a press briefing Wednesday, US State Department Spokesperson Ned Price deplored the terrorist attack in Karachi terming it “a true affront to mankind.”
“A terrorist attack anywhere is an affront to humanity everywhere, but for a terrorist attack to take place at a university, or at a religious site, or at some of the locations we’ve seen recently – that is a true affront to mankind,” Price said in reply to question about suicide bomb blast in Pakistan.
According to the Pakistan Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD), it was a suicide blast and was carried out by a burqa-clad woman.
