Strongly condemning Monday's terror attacks, people from all walks of life have expressed wholehearted support for the government. Commenting on the news, Pakistani Ambassador Manzoorul Haq told the Arab News that terrorists have no religion or country. "A Muslim cannot imagine doing acts of terrorism in the holy city of Madinah," he stressed.
"We condemn terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, and solidly stand with the government and the people of Saudi Arabia in its fight against terrorism," he said. Security forces have arrested 19 people in connection with the acts of terror. Of the arrested, seven are Saudis and 12 Pakistanis. "Saudi Arabia will triumph and terrorists will be defeated. This is our firm belief," he asserted.
Haq said the Kingdom was leading a 35-nation coalition of Muslim countries to combat terrorism, and Pakistan was a member of this coalition. Pakistani Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has also denounced the barbaric attacks. He expressed deep regret, stressing that "the Pakistani government and people stand with the Kingdom and its people, and share their grief." Sharif also offered his heartfelt condolences to the victims' families and wished speedy recovery to the injured.
