CHICAGO, Nov 26 (Reuters) - U.S. President-elect Barack Obama condemned a series of attacks in India's financial capital Mumbai on Wednesday in which gunmen killed at least 80 people.

"These coordinated attacks on innocent civilians demonstrate the grave and urgent threat of terrorism. The United States must continue to strengthen our partnerships with India and nations around the world to root out and destroy terrorist networks," Obama's chief national security spokesperson, Brooke Anderson, said in a statement.
