Mr Modi also received a phone call from Afghan President Hamid Karzai, who assured him that everything will be done to protect Indian missions in his country.
Outgoing PM Manmohan Singh also spoke to Mr Karzai, who told him that such incidents will only help strengthen the collective resolve of the two countries to fight terror.
