KUWAIT, July 22 (KUNA) -- National Assembly Speaker Marzouq Al-Ghanim has strongly condemned the deadly shooting attack at a shopping mall in the southern German city of Munich.
In a cable sent to President of the Bundestag (the German parliament) Norbert Lammert, Al-Ghanim expressed condolences and sympathy with the relatives of the innocent victims of the heinous assault.
Such an act runs counter to all religious teachings and humanitarian values, he stressed.
The chief lawmaker voiced Kuwait's people solidarity with the German people in their fight against terrorism or any act that aims to destabilize their country or jeopardize their safety.
He reiterated that the recent spate of terror attacks which hit several parts of the world shows that terror groups have become more organized and their menace is growing and threatening the whole world.
The international community has to intensify its efforts and coordination and prioritize global security issues to eliminate the terror threat, he added.
At least eight people have been killed and several others injured in a shooting attack in Munich. (end)
