UN envoy condemns suicide bombing in Israel

The senior United Nations envoy for the Middle East peace process, Terje Roed-Larsen, has strongly condemned the suicide bombing over the weekend in the Israeli town of Netanya, calling it an “outrageous and cowardly act.”

In a direct appeal yesterday to the Palestinian leadership and people, Mr. Roed-Larsen asked that they bring the perpetrators of the attack – which left at least 30 people wounded, several seriously – to justice and “act immediately to completely de-legitimize these murderous acts that produce nothing but misery and fear.”

Mr. Roed-Larsen also expressed his condolences to the injured.
