– I am deeply shocked and saddened by the atrocious terrorist attack in
Manhattan which resulted in the deaths of eight innocent civilians and left
11 others injured. I strongly condemn this despicable and senseless act of
violence.
Every single act of terrorism is a blow to humanity everywhere. This attack
was not only against New Yorkers and Americans but against universal human
values that we all share. I reiterate my categorical condemnation of all
forms of terror and violence, which cannot be justified under any
circumstance.
I send my sincere condolences to the victims’ families, loved ones and to
all people who call New York home. I pray for the quick recovery of the
injured and pray to God the Most Compassionate to lead all humanity to a
world of peace and tranquility.
