The following statement was issued today by Saudi Ambassador to the United States Prince Turki Al-Faisal:

(WASHINGTON, DC) – On behalf of the people of Saudi Arabia, I extend our deepest condolences to the victims of these atrocious attacks and to their families. The government of Saudi Arabia condemns the bombings in Jordan as a vicious crime carried out by murderers.  The taking of innocent lives is shunned by every religion around the world, and these terrorists aim only to undermine our common pursuit of global peace and stability.  We all must continue to stand shoulder to shoulder in the fight against them, those who support them, and those who condone their actions.
