Singapore - Singapore strongly condemns the series of terrorist attacks in India's financial capital of Mumbai that killed 101 people and injured 287, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Thursday.

"We would like to convey our deepest condolences to the victims, their families, the government of India and its people," it said.

"The Mumbai attacks underscore the common terrorist threat that we continue to face today. Singapore stands firmly behind the Indian government in its fight against terrorism," the statement said.

The Ministry said one Singaporean was among the several people being held hostage by the terrorists at two posh hotels - the Trident and the Taj - in Mumbai. (dpa)
