Government of the United States US Secretary of State Colin Powell condemns terrorist attack in Jammu:
I condemn the vicious killing of over 20 persons in Jammu yesterday. The people of this region deserve peace and development, not the suffering imposed upon them by terrorist thugs who are outside the pale of the civilized world. The perpetrators of this heinous act are proving once again that they do not have the interest of the Kashmiri people at heart, but rather seek to undermine efforts to ease tensions in the region

My thoughts are with the families and friends of those who suffered".

France
Statement by the French Foreign Minister, Mr. Dominique De Villepin:
France strongly condemns the terrorist attack which took place yesterday evening in Jammu, resulting in numerous casualties.
This morning, the French Minister for Foreign Affairs spoke to his Indian counterpart, Mr. Sinha, to express the feelings of France and to request him to convey his condolences to the families of the victims. Nothing would justify such acts. The resolute fight against terrorism becomes all the more necessary than ever. It also demands that each one demonstrates his sense of responsibility in order to avoid the spiraling of violence.
Russia
Statement issued by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in connection with Terrorist act in the Indian State of Jammu and Kashmir:
Moscow has received with deep concern reports about latest terrorist act in the Indian State of Jammu and Kashmir as a result of which there are many civilian casualties.
Expressing our condolences to the families of the victims, we have no doubt that behind this cruel crime there are forces which would like to sabotage efforts of the international community for reduction of tensions between India and Pakistan. The present terrorist act in Jammu and Kashmir like yesterday's attack on a group of foreign tourists in the north of Pakistan form part of the same chain of international terrorism which present today a major threat to peace and security, including in South Asia.
We emphasise that the first step in ending terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir is the consistent implementation of commitments given by the Government of Pakistan, for preventing activities of terrorist groups based on the territory under its control. Only on this basis can we see the return of normal relations between India and Pakistan, as indicated several times by President of Russian Federation V.V. Putin, leaders of India and other countries of the world.

The Government of Japan resolutely condemns terrorism in any form as we reconfirmed in our Japan-India Joint Declaration, signed by Japanese and Indian Prime Ministers in Tokyo, on December 10, 2001.
