UNITED NATIONS. July 18. KAZINFORM The UN Security Council strongly condemned on Friday the bomb attacks at two hotels in Jakarta, Indonesia, and called for bringing to justice those behind the terrorist attacks, Kazinform refers to Xinhuanet.
Unanimously adopting a presidential statement, the 15-member body condemned "in the strongest terms" the attacks that have caused "numerous deaths and injuries."
The council urged the Indonesian government to bring "perpetrators, organizers, financiers, and sponsors of these reprehensible acts of terrorism to justice," and called on all states to cooperate in this regard.
Speaking to the press, Indonesia's UN Ambassador Marty Natalegawa welcomed the "timely adoption" of the statement by the Security Council.
He said that it is premature to speculate who the perpetrators are and that the Indonesian authorities will make deliberate investigations on the attacks, Kazinform cites Xinhuanet.
