Statement by the Prime Minister


November 17, 1997
Ottawa, Ontario

Prime Minister Chrétien today expressed his shock and outrage at the horrific attack on innocent tourists in Luxor, Egypt.

"Words cannot do justice to the revulsion Canadians feel at this utterly craven act of brutality. There is no justification for such barbarism.

Our deepest sympathies go out to the families of the innocent victims. To the people of Egypt, we offer a heartfelt prayer that they will soon no longer live under the threat of such senseless violence."
