  • [01] EU condemns terrorist attack in Colombia, lauds ensuing pro-democracracy rally

    12/02/2003 12:46:09

    The European Union on Wednesday strongly condemned a terrorist attack on a club in Colombia late last week that killed 34 people and injured more than 160, and lauded a local pro-democracy rally that followed the incident.

    In a declaration issued by the Greek EU presidency in Athens, the European Union further reaffirmed its full support for democracy in Colombia and President Alvaro Uribe's government's efforts to establish the rule of law in that country, and applauded a pro-democracy rally in Bogota the day after a car bomb ripped through the city's exclusive Club El Nogal last Friday night as a wedding, a children's party and a girl's ballet presentation were taking place. The dead included six children, while about 160 people were injured, many of whom suffered serious burns.
