Nepal has sought answers from Canada on how and under what circumstance Nepali security guards employed by its embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan, were killed in a terrorist attack on June 20.
Thirteen Nepali migrant workers were killed and six were seriously wounded when they became a bomber’s target while being ferried to the embassy in an unprotected minibus.
Nepal’s Ambassador to Canada Kali Prasad Pokhrel yesterday met with Canadian High Commissioner to India Nadir Patel and other foreign ministry officials in Ottawa and sought to know their take on the incident and apparent security breaches, said Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Bharat Raj Paudyal.
Patel, who is also Canada’s non-residential ambassador to Nepal, was currently in Ottawa.
During his conversation with Patel, Ambassador Pokhrel expressed concern about visible security lapses while ferrying Nepali guards from their camps to the embassy in a minibus without any security escort. The Nepali side has asked Canadian authorities to conduct a thorough investigation into the incident and share the findings.
Following the attack, Nepali lawmakers and the public have raised questions why westerners in Afghanistan are heavily protected but those who are hired to guard them are not.
It’s understood that Nepal’s envoy also reminded the Canadian government to look into the situation of bereaved families and provide financial support to the dependants of the deceased and injured ones on humanitarian ground.
