Pretoria - President Jacob Zuma has extended South Africa's deepest condolences to Russian Federation President Dmitry Medvedev and the people of Russia following a terrorist attack at Domodedovo airport, which killed at least 35 people on Monday.
"I have learnt with shock and sadness of the terror attack on 24 January 2011, which killed over 35 innocent people and injured more than 100.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Russia and most especially those who have lost loved ones during this callous attack. South Africans share in your pain and sorrow," President Zuma said on Tuesday.
According to reports, at least six foreigners have been identified among the 35 confirmed dead in the Domodedovo airport attack.
Two British citizens, one German and three central Asians from Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan were among those killed when a suicide bomber blew up the arrivals area of Russia's busiest airport at 4:30pm.
A further eight foreigners were admitted in hospital, with 87 people still undergoing treatment.
Zuma said the South African Government condemned terrorism in all its forms and manifestations.
"We will continue to stand together with Russia and the rest of the international community in defeating the enemies of peace and democracy."
