STOCKHOLM, July 8 (Xinhua) -- The Norwegian government Tuesday strongly condemned a terrorist attack outside the Indian embassy in Kabul, according to reports reaching here from the Norwegian capital of Oslo.

    "There is no excuse for such terrorist actions," Norway's Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere said in a statement.

    "This brutal terrorist attack was carried out with the sole purpose of sabotaging the ongoing work to stabilize Afghanistan and the international efforts to build a foundation for peaceful development in the country," the minister said.

    Norway will continue to honor its commitments to the Afghan people to secure development toward a peaceful and stable Afghanistan, Stoere added.

    On Monday, 41 people were killed and over 100 injured in a bomb attack in front of the Indian embassy in the Afghan capital.
