The Church of Scotland has expressed grief and outrage at the terrorist attacks in India on Tuesday which left 186 dead and hundreds more injured.
Tuesday’s blasts ripped through railway carriages and stations in Mumbai, packed in the busy rush-hour and all within just 11 minutes. Around 700 people have been left injured.
Convener of the Church and Society Council, Morag Mylne, commented: “Our prayers are with those who have lost loved ones or suffered injury and trauma in these appalling attacks.
"The Church of Scotland joins in outrage those of all faiths and none who have condemned this atrocity.
