President Condemns Terrorist Bombings in Morocco
Statement by the President
I strongly condemn the terrorist bombings in Casablanca, Morocco, that
have taken many innocent lives. On behalf of the American people, I
extend condolences to the families of the victims and our hopes for a
quick recovery to those injured.
These acts of murder show, once again, that terrorism respects no
boundaries nor borders. Casablanca is a city well-known for its
tolerance and its diverse range of religious and ethnic communities.
These acts demonstrate that the war against terror goes on.
Morocco is a close friend of the United States and we offer assistance
to the government of Morocco to help track down and bring to justice
those responsible.
