Alliance Youth secretary Michael Bower has expressed outrage at the terrorist attacks that started last night in Mumbai.

Michael Bower stated, “These vile attacks are not just an attack on India, they are an attack on the international community as a whole. The magnitude of these incidents is deeply disturbing.

“As someone who has visited India on a number of occasions, I have experienced at first hand what a vibrant, diverse and friendly country it is. I urge the international community to stand shoulder to shoulder with India at this time and to do everything in its power to help it bring the perpetrators of this attack to justice.

“The world is changing, there will soon be a new President in the White House and we want to see a change in approach to help resolve conflicts around the world more effectively and more peacefully.”
