INDONESIA: Indonesia condemned on Monday the bombings in New Delhi that killed 61 people and said the attacks underscored the danger posed by terrorism.

"We cannot justify terrorism under any pretext," said foreign ministry spokesman Yuri Thamrin. "As a country which has been a victim of terrorism, we are fully aware of the danger of the use of violence against people whom according to international laws should not be targets of attacks."

Yuri reaffirmed Indonesia's determination to take part in an international effort to fight terrorism. Indonesia has been hit by a series of deadly attacks blamed on Islamic militants in recent years. -- AFP
