Bush condemns bomb attacks in Algeria
WASHINGTON |
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush on Tuesday condemned the car bombings that struck U.N. offices and other buildings in Algiers as attacks by "an enemy of civilized world" that must be dealt with.
Up to 67 people were killed when two car bombs exploded in upscale districts of Algiers, the bloodiest attack in the north African country since the 1990s.
"I don't know who did it," Bush said in an interview with ABC News, according to excerpts. He said anyone who "bombs innocent citizens and ... people who provide relief for the people of Algiers, like the United Nations, is an enemy of civilized world and must be dealt with."
The White House had earlier condemned the attack, but this was the first public comment from Bush.
