8/7/2005 9:38
The United States condemned on Thursday the explosions in London that killed
some 40 people and expressed condolences to the victims of the
explosions. "This is obviously an attack that demonstrates the barbarity of
the terrorists with whom we are dealing," US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice
said in a statement. "I want to express our sympathy and our prayers for the
families of those who have died, and our prayers and wishes for the recovery of
the injured," Rice said. Rice said that the explosions will only strengthen
Britain's resolve to fight against terror. "It will, in fact, only strengthen
the resolve of Great Britain, of Prime Minister Blair and his government, and of
the people of Great Britain to make certain that terrorists know that they
cannot win; that we remain resolved in our determination to root out this
scourge against humanity and against civilization," she said. Britain has
been the strongest ally of the United States in the Iraq war.
