The White House
Office of the Press Secretary
November 28, 2002
Statement by the President
I condemn, in the strongest possible terms, the terrorist attacks
today at the Likud Party polling place in northern Israel and the
Paradise Hotel in Mombasa Kenya, as well as the attempted attack on a
civilian airliner shortly after it took off from Mombasa's
international airport. I want to extend my condolences to the victims
and their families, and to the governments and peoples of Israel and
Kenya. Today's attacks underscore the continuing willingness of those
opposed to peace to commit horrible crimes. Those who seek peace must
do everything in their power to dismantle the infrastructure of terror
that makes such actions possible. The United States remains firmly
committed, with its partners around the world, to the fight against
terror and those who commit these heinous acts.
GEORGE W. BUSH
