VIENNA, 1 September 2004 - OSCE Secretary General Jan Kubis strongly condemned a spate of terrorist attacks in the Russian Federation, including the destruction of two civilian aircraft last week, yesterday's bomb attack on a subway station in Moscow and the seizure of a school in North Ossetia today.
In a letter to Russian Ambassador to the OSCE Alexey Borodavkin, he said:
"I write to express my deepest sympathy and support following the shocking acts of terror that have plagued your country in recent days, along with our hope that the tragic hostage situation of today will soon be resolved.
"I condemn in the strongest possible terms these numerous acts of terrorism and hope that the perpetrators will be brought to justice and appropriate measures will be taken to put an end to such heinous crimes. Tragedies like these only confirm that the international community should resolutely fight terrorism and fully co-operate towards this aim."
The Secretary General offered the Russian authorities his deepest condolences on behalf of the OSCE 's 55 participating States and asked that these be conveyed to the relatives of the people killed and injured.
