ISLAMABAD - Pakistan on Tuesday strongly condemned a series of bomb blasts on commuter trains in the Indian city of Mumbai, describing the attacks as a "despicable act of terrorism."
"Pakistan strongly condemns the series of bomb blasts on commuter trains in Mumbai, India," a foreign ministry statement said.
"This despicable act of terrorism has resulted in the loss of a large number of precious lives," it said.
Pakistani President General Pervez Musharraf and Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz also strongly condemned the attacks and offered condolences over the loss of life, the ministry said.
"Terrorism is a bane of our times and it must be condemned, rejected and countered effectively and comprehensively," it said.
Nuclear-armed India and Pakistan have fought two of their three wars over the scenic Himalayan region of Kashmir.
Since January 2004 they have been engaged in a peace process to resolve all their pending disputes, including the one over Kashmir.
