US White House Statement -- Terrorist Attack in Egypt (96-04-18)
THE WHITE HOUSE
Office of the Press Secretary
For Immediate Release
April 18, 1996
STATEMENT BY THE PRESS SECRETARY
Terrorist Attack in Egypt
The United States strongly condemns the terrorist attack
against innocent Greek tourists in Egypt today. The President is
conveying his sympathy to President Mubarak and Prime Minister
Simitis and, on behalf of all Americans, has offered his
condolences to the families of the victims.
These outrages are a tragic reminder that even as those who
have chosen the path of peace move boldly forward, there remain
desperate individuals determined to hold back progress toward
reconciliation and a better future. The murder and wounding of
Greek tourists and Egyptian citizens in Cairo underscores the
need for all nations both to condemn terrorism and to take
purposeful actions to end it. The United States will continue to
stand with those throughout the world who confront this terrible
scourge.
