Rajya Sabha

The Government is closely monitoring the security situation in the Gulf countries with particular attention being paid to developments that may have a bearing on security and well being of Indians working there. Our Missions in Gulf countries are in constant contact with concerned local authorities for the safety and security of the Indian community in their jurisdiction. The Missions are in regular contact with Indian communities in their respective countries to render all possible assistance in this regard.

This information was given to Rajya Sabha today by the Minister of State in the Ministry of External Affairs, Shri E. Ahamed in reply to a question by Shri Abu Asim Azmi.

The Minister further informed that on 29 May 2004, terrorists identified as belonging to Al-Qaida attacked the office of Arab Petroleum Investment Corporation in Al Khobar which was followed by hostage taking in the nearby Oasis Housing Complex. Eight Indians were killed in the incident. Our Ambassador in Saudi Arabia met the Governor of the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia where Al Khobar is located and received assurances of cooperation with regard to safety of Indian nationals. Further more Indians are not targeted so far in any Arab country, Shri Ahmed added.
