Vatican sends telegram to King of Jordan after bombings


The Cardinal Secretary of State Angelo Sodano, acting in the Pope's name, sent a telegram of condolence to King Abdullah II of Jordan for last night's attacks in the Jordanian capital, which cost the lives of scores of people. He wrote: "Deeply saddened to learn of the cruel acts of violence and disrespect for law and human life perpetrated in the city of Amman, the Holy Father sends heartfelt condolences to Your Majesty, to the families of the deceased and to the entire nation. Remembering the victims and injured in his prayers, the Holy Father invokes the divine gifts of consolation upon those who mourn, and unfailing courage upon all who work for lasting peace and respect for human rights in the Middle East."
