New Delhi: Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Monday condemned the militant attack in Srinagar in which five army personnel were killed, and said the "cowardly attack" would not deter the security forces engaged in bringing peace and order to the Kashmir Valley.
Six people were injured in the attack which took place when militants opened fire on an army convoy on the outskirts of the city ahead of the prime minister's visit to Jammu and Kashmir.
"This cowardly attack will not deter the security forces who are engaged in bringing peace and order to the Kashmir valley," the Prime Minister's Office said in a tweet.
He also extended condolences to the families of the armymen killed and prayed for early recovery of those injured, the tweet said. The Hizbul Mujahideen claimed responsibility for the attack.
