President's Statement on Egyptian Terrorist Attacks
October 8, 2004
STATEMENT BY THE PRESIDENT
I condemn in the strongest possible terms the vicious terrorist
attacks in Egypt yesterday. By targeting Muslims and Jews, Egyptians
and Israelis, and women and children, the terrorists have shown their
total contempt for all human life and for all human values. These acts
show yet again why the civilized world must stand together against the
forces of terror and defeat this evil.
On behalf of the American people, I express condolences to all who
lost loved ones and to the people of Egypt and of Israel. I commend
the cooperation between Israel and Egypt to help the victims and their
families. The United States stands ready to provide assistance to the
Government of Egypt as it brings the perpetrators of these acts to
justice.
