Germany strongly condemned the mass stabbing at a train station in southwest China's Kunming city that left 29 civilians dead, German Foreign Ministry said in a statement on Sunday.

"We condemn the brutal attack on innocent civilians at a train station of Kunming in southwest China in the strongest terms," the statement quoted a ministry spokesman as saying.

"This act cannot be justified," the spokesman said, expressing sympathy with families and relatives of the victims.

More than 10 terrorist suspects stabbed and slashed passengers with long-bladed knives at the square and ticket hall of Kunming Railway Station at 9:20 p.m. Saturday, killing 29 people and injuring more than 130 others.

The terrorist attack was planned and organized by separatist elements from Xinjiang of West China, a Chinese spokesman said Sunday.
