Secretary-General condemns suicide attack in Tel Aviv

United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan today condemned “in the strongest possible terms” this evening's suicide bomb attack in Tel Aviv.

Mr. Annan expressed hope that immediate action will be taken to apprehend the perpetrators and bring them to justice, according to a statement released by his spokesman.

Spokesman Fred Eckhard said the terrorist attack “should not be allowed to undermine the recent positive steps taken by both sides” of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
