Joint fight against terrorism

A suicide car bomb attack on the Chinese embassy in Bishkek, capital of Kyrgyzstan in Central Asia, on Tuesday, killed the assailant and injured three local staff members.

The attacker forcibly drove a vehicle into the yard of the Chinese embassy and detonated a car bomb. Kyrgyzstan officially confirmed the incident as a "terrorist attack", which means it was the first attack of its kind targeting a Chinese embassy.

Due to the country neighboring Afghanistan and its role as a passageway for the flow of drugs out of Afghanistan, terrorism and extremism have resurged in Kyrgyzstan in recent years. Some brainwashed Kyrgyz people have been used as "cannon fodder" by terrorist groups for their "holy wars" across the world.
