All the terrorists who struck at Parliament House on Thursday, have been killed, the prime minister said in an address to the nation.

In a short message, Vajpayee said, "The attack was not on Parliament, but on the entire nation. We will see that the terrorists are unsuccessful in their attempts. We are fighting terrorism for the last two decades and the entire country is together in this crisis."

"We are with the families of the people who laid down their lives fighting against the terrorist attack on Parliament," he said.
