Hillary Rodham
Clinton
Secretary of State
The United States extends its deepest sympathy to the victims of today’s brutal attack in Peshawar, and to the families and friends of those killed and injured. There is no justification for killing innocent people.
This attack shows the lengths
extremist elements are willing to go to force their agenda
onto a people who only wish to go about their daily lives in
peace.
We commend Pakistan for its courageous fight
against extremism and the commitment of the Pakistani
military to protect the security and well-being of the
Pakistani people. We stand shoulder to shoulder with the
Pakistani people in their aspirations for peace and
security. We are committed to giving Pakistan the help it
needs in order to defeat extremist
violence.
