US State Department condemns Lebanon suicide attack


BEIRUT: The U.S. State Department condemned Sunday a twin suicide bombing that left at least nine people dead and over 30 wounded in a Tripoli café Saturday night.


“The United States strongly condemns yesterday’s suicide bombing at the Omran Café in the Jabal Mohsen neighborhood of Tripoli, Lebanon,” a statement said.


The statement said the United States expresses its sympathies to the victims’ families, and wishes a full recovery to those who were wounded.


The U.S. will continue its “strong support for the Lebanese security forces as they protect the Lebanese people, combat violent extremists, and preserve Lebanon’s stability, sovereignty, and security,” it added.
