Minister Alfano on the attack in Jordan

“I wish to express my deepest sorrow for the barbaric terroristic attack that affected Karak, where ten people lost their lives, among them four Jordanian policemen.” These are the words in a note written by the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Angelino Alfano. The Minister added that “Italy is close to the families of the victims and to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in these difficult hours, also through the health assistance provided by the Italian Hospital in Karak, whose staff is now assisting the injured.” “Italy is linked to the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan by an old and profound friendship, and this bond becomes even stronger today, standing together in the fight against terrorism,” continued Minister Alfano. He underlined that it is necessary “to react firmly against those who wave weapons of hatred and sectarianism to create chaos and fuel violence.”
