The United States strongly condemns last evening’s terrorist attack near Kasserine, Tunisia, which killed at least 14
Tunisian soldiers. We extend our condolences to the families of the victims, and hope for the quick and full recovery of
the wounded. Recognizing that only in an environment of security and stability will a democratic Tunisia be able to
continue to move forward in a positive direction, the United States will continue to support the efforts of the Tunisian
Government to combat the threat of terrorism.
