PRESS RELEASE
CPI STATEMENT ON TERRORIST ATTACK IN USA.

The Central Secretariat of the Communist Party of India has issued the
following statement:-

The Communist Party of India expresses its shock and
horror at the coordinated and massive terrorist attack on sensitive
civilian and official sites in the U.S., which has led to the death
of several thousand lives, caused vast destruction, and spread panic
and fear among people, not only in the U.S.A., but elsewhere in the
world. We express our heartfelt condolence to the people of the United
States in this hour of grief.

We have always opposed terrorism, and along with it
state terrorism, as weapons of pursuing political aims. They only let
loose a chain of retaliatory attacks in an ever rising crescendo of
violence. Our country as well as several countries of the third world
have been victims of terrorism and state terrorism sponsored or connived
at by the super-power. The present terrorist attack has also shown the
tragic truth that accumulation
of latest and most sophisticated weapons of offence and defence, and
unleashing an arms race on land, in seas, and even in outer space, do
not guarantee internal security. This is a lesson that in the first
place, the U.S. leaders should note at this grim hour.

(S.S. Bhusari)
Office Secretary.
