United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan on Monday condemned the taxi bombing attacks in India's economic capital, Mumbai, describing them as "despicable acts of terrorism."

Annan "utterly" condemned Monday's bomb attacks in Mumbai, which killed more than 40 innocent civilians and injured many more, a UN spokesperson said in a statement.

The UN chief "is adamantly opposed to all acts of terrorism, from whatever quarter," it said.

"The secretary-general conveys his heartfelt condolences to the government of India and the bereaved families of the victims of these despicable acts of terrorism," it added.

The United Nations itself was still recovering from the massive bomb attack on its office in Baghdad last week, which killed 23 people, including UN top envoy Sergio Vieira de Mello.
