DHAKA: Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Wednesday condemned the "cowardly" bomb blast outside the High Court in New Delhi that killed nine people.

"This is a cowardly act of a terrorist nature," Singh, who is currently on a visit to Bangladesh, told television reporters in Dhaka.

"We will never succumb to the pressure of terrorism. This is a long war in which all political parties, all the the people of India, have to stand united so that this scourge of terrorism is crushed," Singh said.
