He expressed his profound condolences to the families of the victims and to the Government and people of Libya over this painful event and the loss of precious lives, while wishing a prompt recovery for the injured.
Dr. Al-Othaimeen renewed the OIC’s unwavering stand against terrorism in all its forms and manifestations, irrespective of their source, and expressed the OIC’s steadfast support for the Government of Libya in its vigorous combat against terrorism.
