Washington: The US has condemned the terrorist attacks in India's financial capital Mumbai that left dozens dead and many more injured late Wednesday night.
"We condemn these attacks and the loss of innocent life. We continue to seek more information," said Ben Chang, a spokesman for the White House National Security Council, in a statement Wednesday.
US President George W Bush was briefed about a series of deadly attacks in India's financial capital Mumbai on Wednesday and will be kept updated, the White House said.
"The president was informed and will be kept updated," said Ben Chang, a spokesman for the White House National Security Council.
Bush left earlier for the presidential retreat at Camp David where he was due to spend a long Thanksgiving holiday weekend.
Meanwhile, the US government is ''assessing the hostage situation'', the White House said.
''No word on any American casualties at this point, and still assessing the hostage situation,'' said Ben Chang, a spokesman for the White House National Security Council, when asked whether any Americans were being held after attacks apparently aimed at tourists.
