Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina yesterday expressed her deepest condolences and sympathies to her Kuwaiti counterpart for the heinous and cowardly suicide bomb attack on a mosque in Kuwait city leaving 27 people dead and 277 wounded.
She reiterated that Bangladesh denounces terrorism in its all forms and manifestations and reaffirm government’s commitment to work together with Kuwait and the world community to fight against this menace.
In a message sent to her Kuwaiti counterpart Sheikh Jaber Al-Mubarak Al-Hamad Al Sabah, Hasina said it is a matter of deep sorrow and concern that 27 people were killed and 277 wounded when a suicide bomber attacked a mosque in Kuwait city on June 26.
“It is extremely shocking that the bomber stuck into the Imam Al-Sadiq Mosque near Kuwait’s famous Al-Sawaber district in Sharq at the end of the busy Jumma prayers during the holy month of Ramadan, when a suicide bomber blew himself up inside the mosque,” she said.
Hasina also mentioned that the people of Bangladesh joined her in expressing their solidarity in the fight against terrorism in the country and beyond.
On the other hand, Foreign Minister AH Mahmood Ali has expressed deep shock at the terrorist attack on a gas factory near Lyon city in France, and reassured of its all-out efforts and support for fighting the terrorists together and ensuring peace and stability in the world.
“I’m shocked to learn about the cowardly terrorist attack on a gas factory near the city of Lyon in France resulting in beheading of a person and an explosion,” said AH Mahmood Ali.
In a message to his French counterpart Laurent Fabius, the foreign ministry also strongly condemned the attack and expressed deep condolence and sympathy to the friendly people of France and especially to the members of the bereaved family.
A terrorist attack in France within three days only justify joining hands together with greater strength to fight this absolutely violent insanity against human civilization, the minister continued.
