UK ASKS FOR MORE TARGETED TERRORISM

UK asks for more targeted terrorism

Foreign Secretary David Miliband has made a statement on the latest situation in Mumbai India following a series of attacks in the city.

Speaking at a press conference at the Foreign Office, the Foreign Secretary expressed his horror at this 'callous, inhuman and indiscriminate attack on people of all races'.

He said:

"This attack in Mumbai is an attack on all of us because democracy in India is vibrant and because Mumbai is one of the world's most diverse cities.

"The most terrible thing is that we do have one confirmed British fatality. Obviously our hearts go out to the family of the victim and we are determined to do all we can to support those who are currently in hospital."

He also explained that the British High Commissioner to India is in Mumbai and has set up a special command centre and that a special team has just landed to help victims, even if they're not British.
