IFP STATEMENT ON TERRORIST ATTACKS IN THE U.S.A

Durban: September 11th, 2001

The IFP has learnt with horror and disgust of the terrorist attack against the World Trade Centre in New York and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. The cruelty of the deed is that hi-jacked aircraft were used to launch these attacks with complete disregard for the lives of innocent and law-abiding air passengers.

The IFP condemns in the strongest possible terms these cold-blooded murderous deeds involving thousands of civilian casualties. Our hearts go out to all the people of the United States of America at this darkest hour of history.

This horrific tragedy serves as a reminder to all of us wherever we are in the world that we are not safe from those who will stop at nothing to unleash their murderous attacks on their perceived enemies.

We call on the South African Government to take all the necessary precautions to ensure the safety of all South Africans. Our hard-earned freedom needs to be defended and protected at all costs.
