NEW DELHI: The chief organiser of the Delhi Commonwealth Games told AFP Monday that the event would be safe and that a gun attack at the weekend was not related to the October 3-14 showpiece.

"Yesterday`s shooting was a one-off incident which was not targeted at the Games," said Suresh Kalmadi, organising committee chairman for the event, which will see 7,000 athletes and officials come to the Indian capital.

"All security measures for the athletes and tourists who will be coming for the Games are well taken care of. I assure that," he added in an interview with AFP.

Two attackers on a motorbike shot and injured a pair of Taiwanese sightseers outside New Delhi`s main mosque on Sunday in an attack that was claimed by an Indian Islamist group.
