New Delhi : Describing the bombing outside the Delhi High Court as “an act of senseless violence,” Australia Wednesday underlined its full support to India in combating terrorism.
“This act of senseless violence, directed at one of the institutions of government, appears to have been planned to cause a high number of casualties among the general public,” Australian Prime Minister Julian Gillard’s office said in a statement.
“We extend our sympathy and concern to the government and people of India at this time. Our thoughts are with the families of the innocent people who have been killed, and with those injured by the blast,” said the statement.
“The Indian government and people have Australia’s full support as they continue to combat terrorism,” said the statement issued soon after the blast that claimed 11 lives and injured 76.
