MADRID - The Spanish government Thursday strongly condemned the "savage attacks" that rocked London and expressed its solidarity with the British people and government.
"Spain, which has suffered for years from the scourge of national and international terrorism, offers its unconditional help to the United Kingdom to pursue the criminals who have carried out a shameful attack against a city which was celebrating after being chosen to host the Olympic Games in 2012," a government statement said.
The government "condemns with all its force the savage attacks that took place in London and expresses its solidarity with the people of London, the government, the authorities and the British people," it said.
The Spanish government expressed "its condolences to the families of the victims and issues an appeal to all those who believe in freedom and peace against barbarity and terrorism."
The London attacks recalled Spain's worst terrorist attack on March 11, 2004, in which 191 were killed and 1,900 in a series of train bombings in Madrid.
