Brussels - The European Union's top officials on Thursday strongly condemned the "heinous" Mumbai terrorist attacks that have killed 101 people. The bloc's foreign policy chief, Javier Solana, said the attacks "show once again the need for the international community to stand united against terrorism and fight it with determination."

Previously, the European Commission had issued a statement condemning "in the strongest terms the heinous terrorist attacks."

"Terrorism is never justified and is no means to achieve any goal. We stand by the Indian government in its fight against terrorism. Our thoughts are with the families who have lost loved ones and we wish a speedy recovery to those injured," the statement by the EU's executive arm said.

In a separate statement, the French government, which currently holds the EU's rotating presidency, said that it had heard of the attacks with "horror and indignation" and "condemned them with the greatest rigour."

The presidency "knows the attachment the people of India have to democracy" and "stands by their side during this dramatic trial," the statement said.
