Two days after his statement on Kabul attack, which did not go well with authorities in India, US Special Envoy to Afghanistan and Pakistan Richard Holbrooke on Friday made a turnaround and said he regretted any 'misunderstanding' caused by his comments that Indians were not the target of the terror strike.
Holbrooke said: "I did not say Indians were not targeted, but that initially it looked like the target was not an official Indian facility. Early reports on events like this are often unreliable, and I try not to jump to conclusions."
"We all know that Indian citizens have and continue to be targeted by terrorists, including inside Afghanistan," he added.
He also lauded India's willingness to take risks and make sacrifices to help Afghanistan and said this was testament to India's commitment global peace and prosperity.
