He reiterated his long-standing condemnation of terrorist attacks and stressed that the Secretary-General had clearly and repeatedly stated that such attacks against civilians were morally repugnant and a clear violation of international law.

Mr. Roed-Larsen said that terrorist attacks from any quarter were unacceptable and could not be tolerated by the international community.
