with the victims and
their relatives in a

"Brazil transmits its

The Colombian government
condemned on Wednesday
the attacks in Mumbai
and expressed its
support to the Indian
government.
"Colombia also has
suffered from terrorism
and supports India on
its fight against this
international problem,
understanding that the
terrorism is a criminal
and unjustifiable act,"
the Colombian government
said in a communique.
The attacks occurred
