SECRETARY-GENERAL STRONGLY CONDEMNS TERRORIST ATTACK IN COLOMBIA
The following statement was issued on 8 February by the Spokesman for Secretary-General Kofi Annan:
The Secretary-General of the United Nations is deeply shocked by the terrible terrorist attack on a crowded social club in Bogotá last night.� The Secretary-General expresses his profound sympathy for the victims and for their families.� He strongly condemns this cruel bombing and all other terrorist attacks by any actor in the conflict.� Their ends do not justify the means.� The heartless killing of innocent civilians will only deepen the conflict and further undermine hopes for peace that Colombia seeks and deserves.
