Condeleances Van Aartsen aan Powell
Dit is de letterlijke tekst van het condoléance telegram van Minister
Jozias van Aartsen aan zijn Amerikaanse collega Colin Powell. Dit
telegram werd zojuist verzonden. Volgt tekst:
I was deeply shocked and horrified to hear of the incomprehensible and
disastrous terrorist attacks that occurred today at New York and
Washington, which caused the death of so many innocent people.
Please accept my heartfelt condolences. My thoughts and sincere
sympathies are with the relatives of the victims who lost their lives
in these cowardly attacks.
Rest assured that the Netherlands will do everything in its power to
assist the United States to track down those accountable, for instance
in terms of intelligence, where we already have a long standing
co-operation.
