Bus Bombing in Tripoli
Bus Bombing in Tripoli
We condemn the senseless attack
today on a bus carrying Lebanese army troops in Tripoli,
Lebanon. This incident is particularly abhorrent as it comes
during the holy month of Ramadan.
We express our deep
condolences to the Lebanese Armed Forces and the families of
those soldiers and civilians killed in the attack.
This tragic event further underscores the importance of bringing all arms in Lebanon under the control of the state. The United States remains firmly committed to supporting Lebanon's state institutions and its security services. We support the Lebanese government and its efforts to bring the perpetrators of this terrible attack to justice.
