WASHINGTON (92 News) – The United States on Tuesday condemned the attack on Chinese nationals in Besham.
During a press briefing, US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said: “We are deeply saddened by the loss of life and injuries sustained, and share our heartfelt condolences with those affected by the attack. The Pakistani people have suffered greatly at the hands of terrorists, and I will note that Chinese nationals in Pakistan have also been the victims of terrorist attacks, and no country should suffer the acts of terror.”
To a question about the Pakistan-Iran gas pipeline project, Mathew Miller said that the US always advises everyone that doing business with Iran runs the risk of touching upon and coming in contact with our sanctions, and would advise everyone to consider that very carefully. “As the assistant secretary made clear last week, we do not support this pipeline going forward.”
