NATO joins EU in condemning Algerian attack
New Delhi News.Net
Tuesday 19th August, 2008
NATO and the European Union have strongly condemned Tuesday's suicide bomb attack against a police academy in Algeria that left at least 43 people dead.
In a statement, NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer said there could be no justification for such a 'heinous act'.
The NATO chief said the alliance would continue to cooperate with Algeria in 'the fight against the scourge of terrorism'.
The EU's external affairs commissioner, Benita Ferrero-Waldner, said she was 'profoundly shocked' by the bombing.
'Algeria can count on Europe for its support in the fight against terrorism,' Ferrero-Waldner said.
Tuesday's attack in Algeria was the worst since a double car bombing in mid-December killed 41 people, including 17 UN workers.
No organisation had yet taken responsibility for the attack.
