London/Washington/Sydney/New Delhi: Britain joined other countries in condemning the serial bombings and expressed solidarity with India in the common fight against terrorism.
"Bombings in Jaipur have shown again the horrific destruction which terrorism brings," British Foreign Minister David Miliband said in a statement.
"My thoughts are with the families of the victims and with those injured. There can never be any justification for acts of indiscriminate violence such as these, and I utterly condemn those who have perpetrated the attacks," he said.
The US has condemned the terrorist attacks and said it stands by the government and people of India in their ongoing fight to eliminate the scourge of terrorism.
"The United States condemns the terrorist attacks in Jaipur that have killed and injured many innocent civilians," State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said.
Condemning the terror attacks in Jaipur, Canada yesterday underlined its solidarity with India and said it was working with Indian authorities to determine whether any Canadian has been affected by the incident.
"These terrorist bombings, which occurred in crowded market areas and near a temple, are a deplorable act of violence against innocent civilians," Canada's Foreign Minister Maxime Bernier said in a statement released by the Canadian High Commission in New Delhi.
'Reprehensible'
Australia, too, has strongly condemned the terror bombings saying the "the attack on a democratic, tolerant, open society is repugnant".
Offering its deepest sympathies to the victims of the attack, their families and the people of India, a statement by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) said it was a "reprehensible act, for which there can be no justification... Australia hopes the perpetrators are brought to justice quickly".
"Australian and Indian law enforcement agencies continue to work together in our common fight against terrorism," the statement added.
