BRUSSELS — Secretary of State Rice today condemned a gunman’s attack on a Jewish seminary in Jerusalem, calling it an “act of terror and depravity.”
Ms. Rice said she spoke with the Israeli foreign minister, Tzipi Livni, to express American condolences to the people of Israel and the families of the victims of the attack tonight against rabbinical students in Jerusalem.
“The United States condemns tonight’s act of terror and depravity,” Ms. Rice said in a statement. “This barbarous act has no place among civilized peoples and shocks the conscience of all peace loving nations. There is no cause that could ever justify this action.”
