Spain yesterday condemned bomb attacks on trains in Mumbai, India, which killed at least 137 people and injured more than 300 others.

In a telegram to Indian President Abdul Kalam, Spanish King Juan Carlos condemned the "brutal" attacks and expressed his concern over the tragedy.

Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero also sent a telegram to his Indian counterpart, Manmohan Singh, saying, "Spain can only feel very close to India."

The attack recalled "the tragic scenes seen in Madrid on March 11, 2004," he said.

Zapatero expressed the "deep upset and pain caused by these extremely serious attacks," and spoke of the "solidarity and affection of the Spanish people."

He also expressed his commiserations to the families of those who died and wished those who were injured a speedy recovery.

Reports from India said the blasts appeared to have come in quick succession, an indication that Kashmiri militants, who have repeatedly targeted India's cities, could be responsible.
