SECRETARY-GENERAL SAYS TERRORIST ATTACK ON ISRAELI BUS ‘CLEARLY DESIGNED’
TO DISRUPT SEARCH FOR PEACE
The following statement was issued today by the Spokesman for Secretary-General Kofi Annan:
The Secretary-General is appalled by the attack on a bus near the settlement in Emanuel in the West Bank earlier today in which seven Israelis were killed and some 25 injured.� He reiterates his utter condemnation of indiscriminate attacks against civilians which cannot be justified by any political or other objective.
This terrorist attack was clearly designed to disrupt the search for a peaceful solution to the conflict.� The perpetrators cannot be allowed to succeed in their sinister purpose.
