BRUSSELS, July 7 (Xinhua) -- European Union (EU) foreign policy chief Javier Solana has condemned Monday's terrorist attack on the Indian embassy in Kabul, capital of Afghanistan.

    "I condemn the terrorist attack outside the Indian Embassy in Kabul today, which killed more than 40 innocent civilians, including staff members of the Indian mission, and left hundreds injured," he said in a statement.

    Solana conveyed his condolences and "deepest sympathy" to the families of the victims and to the Afghan and Indian authorities.

    He voiced hope "that the Afghan Government will find and bring to justice those behind this barbaric act."

    "Such actions, which are clearly intended to undermine the process of stabilization and reconstruction in Afghanistan, will achieve nothing," he emphasized.

    Solana said the EU was fully committed to long-term support for the people and government of Afghanistan in their efforts to build a democratic and stable state.
