ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has condemned the yesterday’s Barcelona van attack, and extended his condolences to the families of those killed.
In a statement on Friday, PM Abbasi said such terrorist attacks cannot scare the Spanish people.
He said that “as long as the terrorists underestimate the spirit of the societies they seek to undermine, they will lose”.
The premier articulated that Spain and its people have a history of multiculturalism and defence of freedom.
Abbasi’s comment came a day after a van barreled down a busy walkway in central Barcelona, swerving back and forth as it mowed pedestrians down.
Thirteen people were killed and 100 were injured, 15 of them seriously, in what authorities called a terror attack.
