His Majesty King Abdullah on Wednesday condemned the terror attack that targeted a bus carrying Tunisian presidential guards in Tunis on Tuesday. 

In a telephone call with Tunisian President Beji Caid Essebsi, the King expressed Jordan's support for Tunisia and extended his condolences.

Earlier on Wednesday, His Majesty sent a cable to Essebsi, in which he expressed his condolences over the loss of life during the terrorist attack, a Royal Court statement said. 

In the cable, His Majesty expressed his utter condemnation of such "cowardly" acts and voiced Jordan's solidarity with Tunisia, wishing the injured a speedy recovery. 

At least 12 were killed in the suicide attack claimed by Daesh militants, Reuters reported.
