U.S. Embassy Condemns Terrorist Attacks In Lahore, Peshawar And Kohat
October 15, 2009
Islamabad - The U.S. Embassy in Pakistan strongly condemns the terrorist attacks in Lahore today and the terrorist bombing in Peshawar and in the town of Kohat. The horrific injuries and loss of life witnessed in Lahore, Peshawar and Kohat today, along with those lost in the attack on the Pakistan Army General Headquarters, are another stark reminder of the amoral nature of those who commit such acts. These attacks will not deter the people of Pakistan from continuing in their commitment to a free and democratic society.
The United States will continue to support the people and government of Pakistan in combating all forms of violence. We mourn the senseless loss of life and extend our condolences to the victims' families, friends, and community.
