The Government of the Republic of Cuba has received
with grief and sadness the news of violent surprise attacks which took
place, this morning, at civilian and official facilities in New York
City and Washington DC, and which have caused many casualties.
The position of Cuba against all kind of terrorist actions
is well known. We cannot forget that for over 40 years our people has
been victim of such actions, promoted from the territory of the United
States itself. Due to historical reasons, as well as ethical principles,
the Government of our country fully rejects and condemns the attacks
committed against the above mentioned facilities, and expresses its
sincerest condolences to the American people for the distressing and
unjustifiable loss of human lives caused by such acts.
In this bitter hour, our people is in solidarity with
the American people, and expresses its absolute willingness to cooperate,
to the extent of its modest resources, with American health and humanitarian
institutions in taking care of, and rehabilitate the victims of today’s
events.
Havana, September 11th 2001
