The Secretary-General condemns the terrorist attack today at the al-Bolayli mosque in Sana’a during prayers for the Eid al-Adha holiday. He expresses his deepest condolences and sympathies to the families of the victims and to the people of Yemen.

Such attacks against places of worship, or civilians anywhere, cannot be justified by any cause. The Secretary-General calls for a full investigation of the bombing and for the perpetrators to be brought to justice.
