Saudis condemn Copenhagen, N.C. killings

Saudi Arabia condemns the fatal attacks in Copenhagen as well as the murders last week of three Muslim students in the United States, calling them both “terrorist” acts.

“Saudi Arabia has followed with deep sorrow the terrorist, criminal, and ugly acts that took place recently in the Danish capital Copenhagen and the US state of North Carolina,” authorities say in an official statement on the Saudi Press Agency.

The kingdom, home to Islam’s holiest sites, called for “the need to respect religions” and to avoid “incitement against Muslims,” the statement says.
