NATO Press Release

28 July 2008
Statement by the Secretary General on the
Istanbul bombing
I condemn in the strongest terms the bombings
that occurred in Istanbul yesterday evening. These appalling terrorist attacks
targeted innocent civilians in a deliberate and brutal way. On behalf of the Allies, I express my
condolences to the families of those who lost their lives, and my sympathies to
those injured in the blasts. NATO
will continue to stand firmly in solidarity with the Turkish people in the fight
against
terrorism.
