The Australian government condemned the mass stabbing at a train station in southwest China' s Kunming city that left 29 civilians dead, said a statement by Australian Ambassador to China Frances Adamson, which was made available here on Monday.

"Australians have been shocked by the violent and indiscriminate attack by a knife wielding mob at Kunming railway station resulting in multiple deaths and horrific injuries," the statement said.

"The Australian government condemns this brutal attack on innocent people and extends its condolences and deepest sympathy to the victims and their families."

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.
