OIC decries London's attacks, says terrorism No.-1 enemy for humanity

JEDDAH, March 23 (KUNA) -- The Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) on Thursday condemned in strong terms the attacks that occurred in the vicinity of the British parliament.
OIC General Secretary Dr. Yousef Al-Othaimeen expressed heartfelt consolations to families of the victims and wished the injured quick recuperation.
At least four people, including a police officer, lost their lives when a man wielding a sharp object assaulted security officers guarding the premises and simultaneously a car mowed civilians on a nearby bridge in the British capital on Wednesday.
The chief of the Islamic organization expressed robust solidarity with Britain in these hard and painful circumstances, rejecting anew all acts of terrorism that target peoples' rights to live.
He also called on states' governments, international organizations and civil associations worldwide to join ranks for fighting the peril of terrorism that has turned into the number-one enemy for humankind. (end) nh.rk
