ISLAMABAD, Feb 22: Pakistan on Friday condemned bomb blasts in the Indian city of Hyderabad in which at least 16 people were killed and scores injured, terming them “unjustifiable”.

“All acts of terrorism are unjustifiable regardless of their motivation,” the Foreign Office said in a statement.

“Terrorism in all its forms and manifestations constitutes one of the most serious threats to international peace and security,” the statement said.

“Being itself a victim of terrorism, Pakistan fully understands and shares the pain and agony of the people of India. Our prayers and thoughts are with the families of victims of this terrorist attack,” it said.
