September 11, 2001

The telegram says:

”I am deeply shocked by the reports of the tragic events that occurred today in the United States. The barbaric terrorist attacks against innocent people evoked the anger and indignation of the Russian people.

”Please convey our most sincere condolences to the relatives of the victims of this tragedy, to all the injured, and to the entire American nation. We understand your grief and pain. The Russian people have also experienced the horrors of terrorism.

”No doubt, such inhuman actions cannot be left unpunished. The entire international community must rally against terrorism.“
