BEIJING, Dec. 28 (Xinhua) -- Visiting Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda on
Friday condemned the assassination of Pakistan's former Prime Minister Benazir
Bhutto, saying that Japan and China were of one mind to resolutely combat
terrorist activities. Bhutto was killed on Thursday in Pakistan in a suicide
attack.
Nothing could justify terrorist activities, said
Fukuda in a speech delivered at Peking University. He extended condolences over
the death of the Pakistani opposition leader and other victims.
The fight on terror is a common task the
international community faces, including Japan and China, added Fukuda, who
expressed hope that cooperation with China in this area would be promoted.
Bhutto, 54, was killed Thursday evening in a suicide
bombing attack during an election rally at the Liaquat Bagh Park in Rawalpindi,
some 30 kilometers south of the Pakistani capital, Islamabad. The international
community was condemning the terrorist act.
