The Indian Arrival Commit-tee (IAC) said it was horrified at the senseless, wanton and brutal slaughter of 11 innocent persons.
The IAC said it was saddened at the failure of the security forces to protect the people as the Guyana Police Force failed to respond in time and the Guyana Defence Force failed to restrict the movement of the terrorists from their hideouts in the backlands of some parts of East Coast Demerara. It called on the authorities as it has done before when atrocities of the same nature have occurred, especially following the 2002 Mashramani prison break, to swiftly apprehend the evil perpetrators of these brutal crimes and place them before the courts.
The IAC expressed its deepest condolences to the bereaved families and urged communities not to provoke any ethnic animosity.
