WASHINGTON – The United States condemned “in the strongest terms” the terrorist attacks that occurred Friday in France, Kuwait and Tunisia, and following the aggression offered the three countries “any necessary support.”“Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims of these heinous attacks, their loved ones, and the people of all three countries,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest said in a communique.
Earnest insisted that, as U.S. President Barack Obama told his French, Kuwaiti and Tunisian counterparts over the past few weeks, “we are resolute and united in our shared effort to fight the scourge of terrorism.”
“We stand with these nations as they respond to attacks on their soil today, and we have been in contact with appropriate counterparts in all three countries to offer any necessary support,” Earnest said.
“Terrorism has no place in any society, and the United States will continue to work closely with our international partners to combat terrorist actors and counter violent extremism around the globe,” the spokesman said.
At least 28 people were killed Friday in an attack on the Tunisian tourist resort of Susa, the same day that a suicide bombing against a Shi’ite mosque in Kuwait left at least 25 dead.
Meanwhile in southeastern France, a man was found decapitated at the entrance to a factory where an explosion was caused by a vehicle crashing into several gas cylinders.
