Trimble: Terrorist attack "utterly appaling"
Ulster unionist leader David Trimble tonight described terrorist attacks on
the World Trade Centre in New York, The Pentagon in Washington DC and
Pittsburgh as ‘‘utterly appalling’’.
He said: ‘‘The thoughts and prayers of everyone in Northern Ireland are
with the injured and the bereaved.
‘‘I would like to express our deepest sympathy to the American government
and the American people.’’
A flight to Washington today containing an Ulster unionist delegation led
by Lagan Valley MP Jeffrey Donaldson was returning to London in the wake of
the attacks, a party spokesman also confirmed.
