WASHINGTON: US President Barack Obama Wednesday condemned the “outrageous” attacks in Mumbai after three simultaneous blasts left at least 20 people dead and 113 injured in the Indian port city.

“I strongly condemn the outrageous attacks in Mumbai,” Obama said, according to his spokesman Jay Carney, after the deadliest attack on India's commercial capital since the traumatic 2008 assault by militants.
