GEORGETOWN, Guyana – The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) has condemned this week’s terrorist attack on Russia describing it as “outrageous and unjustifiable”.
Acting CARICOM Secretary General Ambassador Lolita Applewhaite, said that the bombing at the Domodedovo Airport in Moscow on January 25 continues to “undermine the safety and security of all”
No one has claimed responsibility for the attack that killed 35 people, but suspicion has fallen on Islamist separatists from Chechnya or elsewhere in the restive Caucasus region who have been battling Russian authority for over 15 years.
Ambassador Applewhaite said that the “the Caribbean Community joins the international community in condemning such outrageous and unjustifiable acts of terrorism which continue to undermine the safety and security of all.
“The Caribbean Community expresses its solidarity with the Government and People of the Russian Federation during these moments of national pain and grief, and is confident that with courage and time, the people of Russia will overcome these most trying times.” (CMC)
