EU's Ashton condemns "outrageous" terror bombing in Pakistan
Berlin, Jan 3, IRNA -- The High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Catherine Ashton strongly condemned the suicide bombing at a volleyball game in Pakistan that killed at least 95 people.
"I am shocked by the news of today's brutal bomb attack at a sports event in Lakki Marwat that killed and injured a large number of innocent civilians. This outrageous attack is yet again an example of the outrageous violence that besets Pakistan and its population," Ashton said in a press release.
"My thoughts are now with the families of the victims and I hope the injured will recover very soon. In this difficult moment, the EU reaffirms its support for the government and the population of Pakistan," she added.
At least 95 people were reported killed in the New Year's Day suicide bomb attack in Pakistan's North West Frontier Province, with many children feared among the victims.
More than 100 were injured in the attack, which took place while hundreds were watching a volleyball match./end
