US Condemns Attack On San Francisco Consulate
WASHINGTON, DC (IANS) – The US said it “strongly condemns” reported vandalism at the Indian consulate in San Francisco.
Details of the incident were apparently reported by a local television channel.
“The US strongly condemns the reported vandalism and attempted arson against the Indian Consulate in San Francisco on July 8,” said Mathew Miller, State Department spokesman, in a tweet on July 3.
“Vandalism or violence against diplomatic facilities or foreign diplomats in the US is a criminal offense.”
The Consulate was earlier attacked in March by Khalistani separatists, who are a tiny minority of the Sikh community here, and the US government responded swiftly by condemning it.

Why don’t the Indian consulate hire armed security guards? Are they worried about the cost? Jack up the fees to cover the cost.
