US strongly condemns separate bomb attacks in Pakistan

The US today strongly condemned the multiple blasts and firing in three Pakistani cities that killed over 60 people and injured nearly 100 others.
"The United States strongly condemns the terrorist attacks in Parachinar and Quetta on Friday," White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said in a statement.
"These attacks, which deliberately targeted civilians, are a strong reminder of the threat posed throughout the region by the scourge of terrorism," Spicer said.
Spicer said the US stands with the people of Pakistan in their fight against terrorism.
"We offer our deepest condolences to the victims and their families. We will continue to work with the government of Pakistan and our partners across the region to combat the threat of terrorism," the State Department said in a separate statement.

Twin blasts tore through a market crowded with Eid shoppers in a mainly Shia town on Friday, a suicide bomber blew up his explosives-laden car and militants opened fire on police in separate attacks in Pakistan's three major cities, killing 62 people and wounding nearly 100.
