United Nations: UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has strongly condemned the terrorist bombing of the Delhi-Lahore 'Friendship Express' in which 67 people were killed and nearly 20 injured.
"This heinous crime cannot be justified by any cause and its perpetrators should be brought to justice," a spokesperson for Ban said in a statement on Tuesday referring to Monday's blasts on the Samjhauta Express.
Strongly condemning the "brutal" blast, the statement conveyed Ban's condolences to the families of the innocent victims and the governments of India and Pakistan.
"The Secretary-General expresses his satisfaction that the leaders of India and Pakistan have reaffirmed their determination to continue on the path of dialogue," the spokesman said adding that Ban "is also encouraged by the strong reaction among the various communities in the subcontinent and their common resolve to thwart the motives of the terrorists."
