COPAA Condemns Karachi
Bomb Blast
Los Angeles, CA: The Council
of Pakistan American Affairs (COPA) has strongly condemned
the killing of four people and the wounding of 54 by a blast
caused by explosive-laden car in Karachi, Pakistan on March
2
In a statement issued by the Council it was stated, “COPAA
denounces the barbaric act of this senseless killing of
an American diplomat, a Pakistani chauffeur, a Pakistani
police officer and a fourth unidentified person in Karachi.
The 54 people injured in this blast include both Pakistani
and other nationals. These innocent civilians were simply
going about their normal daily lives. Nothing can justify
the uprooting of these innocent victims and their family’s
lives in this manner.
“COPAA believes that this shameful and immoral act
is against not just Pakistan and the United States, but
really against the world community. There can be no acceptable
justification to this horrific act irrespective of religious,
political, cultural or national affiliation.
“COPPA believes that the persons who carried out this
perverted act, the supporters of these acts, the financers
of these acts and the people who condone these act are all
responsible and one day answerable for these reprehensible
activities.
“COPAA sends its prayers and condolences to the family
and friends of those killed by this very shameful act. We
send our thoughts and prayers also to the injured for their
quick recovery,” the statement concluded.
