"The bombings in Jaipur have shown again the horrific destruction which terrorism brings," British Foreign Secretary David Miliband said in a statement.

The United States strongly condemned the bomb attacks in Jaipur saying they were "intended to claim innocent lives".

He said he had no information on whether US citizens were affected by the attacks.
"I can't offer you any more insight as to who might be responsible or who the victims were. I don't have any news reports of American citizens being affected by this," he added.
When asked if the blasts were the handiwork of Al Qaeda, McCormack replied, "I don't know".
