UN Secretary General Kofi Annan expressed outrage on Sunday after a powerful bomb killed 39 devotees at a shrine in Balochistan "The secretary-general is outraged at reports of a bomb attack in a shrine in Balochistan that has killed a large number of people," said Annan's spokesman, Fred Eckhard. "He condemns in the strongest terms this attack that appears to have targeted civilians at a religious site and reiterates his well-known position that no cause can justify terrorist attacks anywhere," Eckhard said. "The secretary-general calls for those responsible to be brought to justice and appeals for calm and restraint in the face of this brazen and cowardly act," he concluded.
