JCP condemns brutal and sinister synchronous multiple
terrorist attacks in the U.S.
Regarding the series of terrorist attacks
in the U.S., Japanese Communist Party Executive Committee Chair Shii
Kazuo on September 12 published the following statement in condemnation:
Hijacked civil aircraft on September 11 crashed into the World Trade
Center building in New York and the U.S. Department of Defense Building
(Pentagon) in Washington D.C. These incidents, in which many people
were killed and many more injured, are brutal acts of terror without
precedent. Whatever the reasons, such indiscriminate killing of people
is a crime which is absolutely unjustifiable. With anger and in the
name of international justice and humanity, the JCP condemns the terrorist
attacks. The JCP wants to express its condolences to the many people
who fell victim to the terror and their family members, and our prayers
are with those who are injured, and the people who are engaged in rescue
work. The JCP demands that the full truth behind the incident be revealed
after thorough investigations and that the issue be settled not by sanctions
or retaliation by military force but based on law and reason so that
further acts of terrorism can be prevented.
