ALGIERS – President Abdelmadjid Tebboune of Algeria sent powerful message of condolence, sympathy, and solidarity to President Asif Ali Zardari of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, in wake of deadly suicide bombing that targeted worshippers during Friday prayers at the Khadija Tul Kubra (Khadija Grand) Mosque in the Tarlai Kalan area of Islamabad earlier this month. The terrorist attack killed dozens of innocent worshippers and left many others wounded, sending shockwaves across Pakistan and the wider Muslim world. In his message, President Tebboune strongly condemned the attack, describing it as a despicable and abhorrent criminal act that stands in total contradiction to the tolerant and humane values of Islam.

He expressed confidence that Pakistan would confront this tragedy with determination and resilience, ensuring that security, safety, and stability prevail throughout the country. President Tebboune also conveyed Algeria’s heartfelt condolences to the families of the victims and wished a swift recovery to those injured, reaffirming Algeria’s unwavering stance against terrorism in all its forms and its commitment to standing alongside Pakistan in the face of such grave challenges.
