According to '' The New York Times '' , India 's external ministry officials have been raising the issue of security of Indian personnel in Afghanistan for the past several months . The Indian consulate in Jalalabad was attacked twice by hand grenades in 2007 . One soldier of the ITBP was killed and four others injured in an attack by the Taliban on 5 June 2008 . In the aftermath of the attack , India 's Home Ministry cautioned its ITBP personnel to take necessary precautionary measures and also to remain at guard against '' fidayeen '' ( suicide bomber ) attacks . It also noted that the security being provided by the Afghan Police was " not up to the mark " . In spite of these efforts , the embassy bombing of 2008 was later followed up by the 2009 Kabul Indian embassy attack and the February 2010 Kabul attack on Indian citizens and interests in Afghanistan
