UN chief ‘appalled’ by deadly train bombing
UN chief Kofi Annnan is “appalled” by the train bombing that killed at least 183 people in India’s financial capital Mumbai and the grenade attacks in Kashmir, his spokesman said.
“The Secretary General is appalled by the brutal and callous bombing of trains in Mumbai, which reportedly killed more than 160 people and injured nearly 500, as well as the grenade attacks in Srinagar which killed at least eight people,” spokesman Stephane Dujarric said in a statement.
“Such acts cannot possibly be excused by any grievance.”
The acts “serve only to reaffirm that terrorism constitutes one of the most serious threats to international peace and security, and to increase the urgency of coordinated action by all countries to defeat terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, committed by whomever, whenever, wherever and for whatever purpose,” the statement added.
Seven explosions ripped through commuter trains and stations during evening rush hour in India’s financial capital Mumbai on Tuesday, killing at least 163 people in an attack the prime minister blamed on terrorists.
In Srinagar, the main city of revolt-hit Indian Kashmir, eight tourists were killed and 39 people injured Tuesday in a series of grenade attacks targeting holiday areas, police said.
