New Delhi: Prime Minister Modi on Thursday condemned the cowardly terrorist attack in New Orleans in the US which happened on Wednesday and claimed at least 15 lives.
The Prime Minister expressed their solidarity with the victims and their families.
Sharing the post on X, PM Modi wrote “We strongly condemn the cowardly terrorist attack in New Orleans. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. May they find strength and solace as they heal from this tragedy.”
Earlier, Messages of condolences poured in from global leaders, including Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, French President Emmanuel Macron, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and others.
The leaders denounced the attack, extended sympathies to the victims and their families, and emphasised the need to combat “terrorism.”
Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar in a post on X wrote, “Deeply saddened by the terrorist attack in New Orleans. My heartfelt condolences go out to the families of the victims. Wishing a swift recovery to the two injured Israeli citizens and all the wounded.”
He added, “I instructed Israel’s Consul General in Houston to immediately deploy a representative to the scene. Terror has no place in our world. Israel stands in solidarity with New Orleans and the United States.”
The vehicles used in both incidents were rented from a car rental site, ‘Turo’, prompting authorities to look for links between the two events.
“We’re tracking the explosion of a Cybertruck outside the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas. Law enforcement and the intelligence community are investigating this as well, including whether there’s any possible connection with the attack in New Orleans,” Biden said.
Biden assured that every resource is being utilised to ensure there is no threat to the American people.
