    Statement on the Terrorist Bombings in Mumbai, India
    August 25, 2003

        I strongly condemn the bombings in Mumbai, India, which killed
    dozens of innocent people and injured many more. Acts of terror are
    intended to sow fear and chaos among free peoples. I hope that the
    perpetrators of these murders will be identified quickly and brought to
    justice.
        On behalf of all Americans, I send condolences to all affected by
    today's tragedy and to the Government and people of India.
