New Delhi: Denouncement of the Amarnath Yatra terror attack by the international community continued to come in but India’s neighbours, China and Pakistan, have not commented on it. The US, the UK, France, Germany, Russia, Norway, Canada, Iran apart from The South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (Saarc) countries—Afghanistan, Bangladesh. Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal—are among those which have already condemned the attack. China and Pakistan, a Saarc-member nation, are only two immediate neighbours of India which have not commented on the attack in which seven Amarnath Yatra pilgrims were killed and 19 injured when their bus came under heavy gunfire from terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir’s Anantnag district on Monday night. Meanwhile, security forces have launched a massive hunt to track down a Pakistani national Abu Ismail, a Lashkar-e- Taiba (LeT) commander, who has emerged as the mastermind of the deadly attack on the Amarnath pilgrims.
