The US today condemned terror attack in Israel that claimed four lives, saying that the "glorification" of terrorism must never be tolerated and there is absolutely no justification for these "brutal" and "senseless" attacks.
"We condemn in the strongest possible terms today's horrific vehicular attack by a terrorist in Jerusalem. There is absolutely no justification for these brutal and senseless attacks," State Department Deputy Spokesman Mark Toner said.
"We condemn the glorification of terrorism now or at any time and call on all to send a clear message that terrorism must never be tolerated," he said.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the four Israeli soldiers who were killed and we hope for a full and fast recovery of those injured," Toner said.
A Palestinian today rammed a truck into a group of Israeli soldiers visiting a popular tourist spot in Jerusalem, killing four and wounding at least 15 people.
