Japan expressed "shock and outrage" at the casualties caused by the terror attacks. "Japan firmly condemns such acts of terrorism as inexcusable. Japan condemns terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, and strongly reiterates that no act of terrorism can be justified," the Press Secretary in the
Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement.

Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard said, "Mumbai is a brave city that has already known great sorrow at the hands of terrorists, including in the 2008 attacks in which two Australians lost their lives.

"Australia stands with Mumbai and the people of India today. We know their strength and are confident they will meet this latest challenge with courage and determination to stand against such senseless acts of violence," she said.

There you go... words strength, courage pop up again.
