New York, July 29 (DPA) UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has strongly condemned the series of bombings that struck the Indian cities of Bangalore and Ahnedabad on Friday and Saturday, killing and wounding many civilians, and conveyed his sympathies to the families of the victims. “The Secretary-General sends his deepest sympathies to the families of those who lost their lives, the wounded and the people and Government of India,” Ban’s spokesperson said here in a statement Monday.
