Terrorist Attack in Multan, Pakistan


The United States strongly condemns the terrorist bombing today in Multan and extends its deepest condolences to the families of the victims. Attacking mourners during a condolence ceremony is a particularly despicable and cowardly act.

We support the Government of Pakistan’s efforts to restore calm to Multan and to bring an end to sectarian violence and extremism of all kinds. There can be no justification for extending or expanding this cycle of bloodshed.
