Iranian President Mohammad Khatami on Tuesday condemned the “kamikaze terrorist” attacks in the United States and expressed his deep sorrow and sympathy with the American nation, reported the official Iranian news agency (IRNA).
"On behalf of the Iranian government and the nation, I condemn the hijacking attempts and terrorist attacks on public centers in American cities which have killed a large number of innocent people," Khatami said. Three hijacked planes slammed into the Pentagon and New York's landmark World Trade Center on Tuesday, demolishing the two
110-story towers.
"My deep sympathy goes out to the American nation, particularly those who have suffered from the attacks and also the families of the victims," he said, noting, "terrorism is doomed and the international community should stem it and take effective measures in a bid to eradicate it."
Khatami added that the Islamic republic is treading a road to uproot terrorism and to this end, he noted, it will spare no efforts – Albawaba.com
