NEW DELHI: Describing the Mumbai terrorist strikes as a direct attack on Indian's economic development, External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee on Monday said the energy sector could increasingly become a target for sabotage and urged the industry to ensure safety and security of infrastructure.
"This unpardonable criminal attack only underscores the risk all countries face from economic sabotage, irrespective of whether these acts are authored by states or merely carried out by so-called non-state actors," Mukherjee said, referring to the Mumbai carnage.
He was speaking at the inauguration of Petrotech 2009, the eighth international oil and gas exhibition in New Delhi. Mukherjee pointed out that the global hydrocarbons sector "would increasingly be even more vulnerable to such threats".
