SG/SM/5966
18 April 1996
The Secretary-General is appalled by the terrorist attack in Cairo today, which killed 18 people and injured at least a dozen more. He condemns terrorism in all its forms and urges an end to wanton slaughter as means to achieve political ends.
The Secretary-General has learned with shock and horror of the shelling of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) position near the village of Qaana in southern Lebanon.
On behalf of the United Nations and on my own behalf, I would like to wish you the greatest success in the work you are about to undertake at this Conference.
