The Secretary-General is outraged at reports of a bomb attack in a shrine in Baluchistan province of Pakistan that has killed a large number of people.
He condemns in the strongest terms this attack that appears to have targeted civilians at a religious site and reiterates his well-known position that no cause can justify terrorist attacks anywhere. The Secretary-General calls for those responsible to be brought to justice and appeals for calm and restraint in the face of this brazen and cowardly act.
