Washington: 

An Indian-American man was killed in a terrorist attack on a UN vehicle in Kabul, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Tuesday.

“I want to confirm with a heavy heart that a United States citizen, Anil Raj of California, was killed in a terrorist attack on a UN vehicle in Kabul on November 24. There were five other civilians who were injured, including staff,” Mr Pompeo told reporters in Washington. 

“We extend our condolences to the family and friends of the victim following this tragic incident and send our best wishes for a speedy recovery for those who were injured,” he said.

“Attacks targeting UN personnel working to help the Afghan people are unconscionable, and we condemn this act in the strongest possible terms,” Mr Pompeo said.

The State Department did not provide any other details about Anil Raj.
