India to do 'whatever possible' to secure release of hostages NEW DELHI, Thursday (AFP) Indian Deputy Foreign Minister E. Ahmed said Thursday that New Delhi would do "whatever possible" to secure the release of three Indians taken hostage by a militant group in Iraq. "We will go to any extent to resolve the issue," said Ahmed, adding that the government was working to free the Indian hostages through its embassy in Baghdad. "As soon as we got the information, we established contact with our embassy in Baghdad and also our ambassador in Kuwait and asked him to talk to the transport firm which was asked by the militant group to pull out of Iraq and ascertain further details," Ahmed told reporters. "We hope that everything will be resolved because India has taken a firm stand that it will not sent troops to Iraq." |
