Jordan condemns France, Indonesia terror attacks

AMMAN — The government on Sunday condemned the “cowardly act” of a terrorist who stabbed a group of people in Paris, resulting in a number of deaths and injuries, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.

The government also condemned the bombing attacks on three churches in Surabaya, Indonesia, which resulted in several deaths and injuries. Minister of State for Media Affairs Mohammad Momani said that Jordan condemns these “cowardly terrorist acts”, adding that “targeting places of worship is an offence that contravenes all religious values and principles”.

Momani, who is also the government’s spokesperson, said that “uprooting blind terrorism”, which kills innocent people across the world requires joint efforts of the international community. He conveyed the government’s condolences to the French and Indonesian governments and the victims’ families, wishing the injured a speedy recovery.
