United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon strongly condemned Wednesday's bomb attack at the Indian High Court in the capital, New Delhi, and voiced his hope that the perpetrators will be brought to justice. “The Secretary-General reiterates his firm stance that there is no justification for indiscriminate violence against civilians,” his spokesperson said in a statement. According to media reports, a bomb was placed in a case near a security checkpoint outside the court where people were queuing for passes to enter the building. At least 10 people are reportedly dead and more than 60 others are wounded. Ban expressed his solidarity with the Government and people of India and extended his sincere condolences to the families of the victims, the statement added. BM/UN
