(WASHINGTON, DC) - Saudi Ambassador to the United States Adel A. Al-Jubeir today issued the following statement on the 10th anniversary of 9-11:

“Today marks the 10th anniversary of the terrible crime committed in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania in which almost 3,000 innocent people were killed in an evil act condemned and abhorred by all religions and cultures. Over the past ten years, the world has come together to fight the scourge of terrorism with determination and resolve in order to, God willing, deny terrorists the ability to inflict harm on the innocent. Today, we renew our condolences and sympathy to the families of the victims and the people of the United States.”
