Qatar yesterday strongly condemned the shooting that took place in the US city of Orlando, Florida state, which left dozens of dead and wounded.
In a statement, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said “Qatar reiterates its condemnation of all forms of violence and terrorism, whatever their motives and justifications, and emphasises the need for concerted international efforts to face criminal acts that target civilians everywhere in the world”.
Qatar expressed its condolences to the US government, people and the families of the victims and wished the injured a speedy recovery.
Fifty people died earlier yesterday when a gunman, allegedly inspired by the Islamic State (IS) group, opened fire inside a nightclub in Florida, in the worst terror attack on US soil since September 11, 2001.
