President Condemns Pakistan Terrorist Attack
Statement by the President
I am outraged by the terrorist attack that took place today in
Islamabad, Pakistan against innocent civilians. I strongly condemn them
as acts of murder that cannot be tolerated by any person of conscience
nor justified by any cause. On behalf of the American
people, I extend my deepest sympathy and condolences to the families of
the victims of this terrible tragedy, and I wish a full and fast
recovery to those injured. We will work closely with the
government of Pakistan to ensure those responsible for this terrorist
attack face justice.
