RAMALLAH, Friday, February 15, 2019 (WAFA) – The Palestinian presidency expressed its strong condemnation on Friday of the terrorist bombing of an Indian police convoy in southern Kashmir, which resulted in the killing of dozens of policemen and officers and the injury of many others.

In two telegrams sent to the President and the Prime Minister of India, President Mahmoud Abbas sincerely expressed condolences and solidarity with the government, the friendly Indian people and the families of the victims, and called upon God Almighty to inspire their relatives with patience, fortitude and healing for the wounded.

The statement by the Palestinian presidency came in response to the terror bombing attack by militants on a police convoy in Indian-administered Kashmir in which 40 Indian police officers were killed and scores others injured.

It is the deadliest attack on Indian forces in Kashmir since the insurgency against Indian rule began in 1989.
