Canada Foreign Minister condemns 'savage' terror attack in J'lem
Canadian Foreign Minister John Baird said on Tuesday that Canada deplored the "savage" terror attack at a Jerusalem Synagogue on Tuesday morning that killed four Israelis and seriously wounded several others.
“Attacks on innocent worshippers, in what is supposed to be a place of peace and tranquility, are cowardly and must never be tolerated," said Baird.
“Those engaging in these despicable terrorist acts, and those financing or morally supporting their actions, are responsible for further aggravating an already fraught and dangerous situation," Baird added.
“Canada reiterates that any statements of incitement are completely irresponsible. Those leaders who regularly issue them cannot plead ignorance or look the other way when terrorist attacks like today’s occur," Baird continued.
