NINE leading Muslim organisations in Singapore have come forward to condemn last week's Mumbai terrorist attacks which left 188 people dead.
They said in a joint statement that they were deeply saddened by the death of lawyer Lo Hwei Yen, 28, who was killed after being taken hostage there.
Referring to the series of attacks on two hotels, a cafe, a Jewish centre, a train station and other locations, they said: 'Such heinous actions contravene Islam's strong prohibition against harming or killing innocent people.'
