Bush condemns Baghdad bombers
US President George Bush condemned today’s deadly truck bombing in Baghdad and called the attackers “enemies of the civilised world”.
Speaking from his Texas ranch, Bush said he had spoken by phone with the US administrator in Iraq, Paul Bremer, and UN Secretary General Kofi Annan about the attack “and about the vital work in Iraq that continues”.
Those who carried out the attack are testing America’s will to combat terrorism, Bush said, and are finding across the world that “our will cannot be shaken.
“By their tactics and their targets, these murderers reveal themselves once more as enemies of the civilised world,” Bush said.
“The civilised world will not be intimidated, and these killers will not determine the future of Iraq.”
