Im shocked beyond belief. This attack on our visitors is an abomination. The perpetrators of this attack are animals, inhuman & worthy of contempt. No words of condemnation are enough. I send my sympathies to the families of the deceased. Ive spoken to my colleague @sakinaitoo Omar Abdullah (@OmarAbdullah) April 22, 2025
