MALAYSIA CONDEMNS ATTACKS IN MUMBAI

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 28 (Bernama) -- Malaysia Thursday condemned Wednesday's
horrific terrorist attacks on major public places in Mumbai, India, that killed
scores of people and injured many others.


Foreign Minister 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 Thursday.

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.
