West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today sent her condolences to the family members of civilians and security personnel killed in the terror attack in Punjab's Gurdaspur district.

"Saddened to hear about the killings in Gurdaspur. We must unitedly pledge to fight terror. Condolences to families of brave men who lost lives," Banerjee said in a statement from the United Kingdom where she is on a five-day visit.

Three heavily-armed fidayeen in army fatigues, believed to have come from Pakistan, today sprayed bullets on a moving bus and stormed a police station, killing eight persons, including an SP, while all the terrorists were gunned down in a day-long operation.
