Statement on Terrorist Attacks in Israel
and Kenya
(November 28, 2002)
I condemn, in the strongest possible terms, the terrorist
attacks today at the Likud Party polling place in northern Israel and
the Paradise Hotel in Mombasa, Kenya, as well as the attempted attack
on a civilian airliner shortly after it took off from Mombasa's international
airport. I want to extend my condolences to the victims and their families,
and to the governments and peoples of Israel and Kenya. Today's attacks
underscore the continuing willingness of those opposed to peace to commit
horrible crimes. Those who seek peace must do everything in their power
to dismantle the infrastructure of terror that makes such actions possible.
The United States remains firmly committed, with its partners around
the world, to the fight against terror and those who commit these heinous
acts.
George W. Bush
