Jakarta - Indonesia condemned Thursday the terrorist attacks in Mumbai that killed at least 101 people, calling the attacks 'cruel and inhumane' and expressed hope that the perpetrators will be swiftly arrested and brought to justice.
'The government of Indonesia strongly condemns the terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India. The terrorist attacks are cruel and inhumane acts,' the foreign ministry said in a statement.
'The government of Indonesia conveys its deepest condolences to the government of India and the victims along with their families, and hopes that the perpetrators could be swiftly arrested and be brought to justice,' the statement said.
Indonesia, which has been hit by a string of terrorist attacks in past several years that left hundreds of people dead, said the attacks in Mumbai 'clearly show that the threat of terrorism is real.'
'Being a victim of terrorism, Indonesia is always committed to support cooperation in preventing and combating terrorism,' it said.
