( AFP ) - British Foreign Secretary David Miliband condemned as "horrific" Thursday a twin bombing targetting former Pakistan prime minister Benazir Bhutto which killed at least 105 people.

"I am appalled by the attacks in Karachi that have killed at least 100 people and injured many others," he said after the attacks after her arrival in Karachi following eight years of self-imposed exile.

"I condemn utterly the use of violence against entirely innocent people and the attempt to suppress the right of Pakistanis to express their democratic voice," he added.

In a statement released in the sidelines of a meeting of EU leaders in Lisbon, he added: "I share the shock of the Pakistani community in the United Kingdom at these horrific attacks.

"And I commit the government of the United Kingdom to work with all those committed to building a peaceful and democratic Pakistan."
