Terrorist Attack in Israel
February 25, 1996
Ottawa, Ontario
Prime Minister Jean Chrétien strongly condemned today's
terrorist attack in Israel, which claimed the lives of at least
25 people.
"Canadians are appalled by this senseless act of cowardice,"
said the Prime Minister. "There can be no justification for
the taking of innocent lives."
In a letter to Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres, Mr. Chrétien
offered his deepest sympathy to the families of the victims. On
behalf of the Canadian Government, he expressed strong support
for the Government of Israel in its efforts to pursue peace.
