At his weekly audience in St. Peter's Square today, Pope Benedict strongly condemned the terrorist murders of two young British soldiers and a policeman in Northern Ireland.
"It was with deep sorrow that I learned of the murders of two young British soldiers and a policeman in Northern Ireland. As I assure the families of the victims and the injured of my spiritual closeness, I condemn in the strongest terms these abominable acts of terrorism which, apart from desecrating human life, seriously endanger the ongoing peace process in Northern Ireland and risk destroying the great hopes generated by this process in the region and throughout the world. I ask the Lord that no one will again give in to the horrendous temptation of violence and that all will increase their efforts to continue building through the patient effort of dialogue a peaceful, just and reconciled society."
