Lahore, July 10 (ANI): The Taliban reportedly carried out an attack on the Indian consulate in Jalalabad, Afghanistan, in the wee hours of morning, killing six persons, including two Indians, and injuring eight others, reported the Daily Times.

A Pakistan TV channel quoted Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid as saying that his men attacked the Indian Consulate with bombs.

According to the channel, the injured also include Indian nationals and Afghan security personnel.

This was the second attack targeted at Indians. On Monday, a suicide bomber had blown up his car right in front of the Indian embassy gates in Kabul.

British High Commission in Pak to move visa section to UAE

Islamabad, July 10 (ANI): Following the fresh spate of bombings in Pakistan, the British High Commission is learnt to have decided to relocate its visa section to Dubai, though the officials denied that security was the reason for their shifting.

According to diplomatic sources at the UK High Commission, plans for such a move had been in the pipeline for quite sometime now due to rising threats by Al Qaeda and Taliban militants against Western citizens and installations in the country.

"But the process was expedited only after the terrorist attack on the Danish embassy in early June," the Daily Times quoted them as saying.

BHC spokesperson Aidan Liddle admitted that it had been proposed to move some of the office's administrative staff to the UAE, but denied that the move was due to security concerns.

It was an "administrative issue" and should only be treated as such, he said and added that the move was part of a plan to create visa hubs in various parts of the world where visa applications could be processed. (ANI)
