Malaysia condemns Mumbai attacks

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 27 - Malaysia today condemned yesterday's horrific terrorist attacks on major public places in Mumbai, India that killed scores of people and injured many others.

Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Dr Rais Yatim said Malaysia was deeply shocked and saddened by the senseless act of violence "deliberately directed at civilian targets designed to inflict maximum human casualties."

"Malaysia remains firmly committed to the fight against terrorism and in engaging in a constructive manner, all regional and international efforts in combating terrorism," he said in a statement today.

 

He added that the horrendous attacks in Mumbai underscored the fundamental need for the international community to continue vigorously forging a comprehensive and effective front in combating all forms of terrorism and extremism.

At least 80 people, including a foreign tourist and four top police officers, were killed and over 250 injured in the attacks near the Taj Intercontinental and Trident (formerly Oberoi) hotels.

Among the targets was the city's busiest railway station, the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST), formerly the Victoria Terminus, a World Heritage Site. - Bernama
