PDKI Press Release Regarding the Tragedy in the USA  

Sep 12, 2001
Dear Compatriots!
International groups and associations!
            
Yesterday before noon Washington time, a series of organized terrorist attacks using several
hijacked airplanes were conducted against political, military and economic centers of the
United States of America.  Both World Trade Centre towers in New York were destroyed
and a considerable segment of the Pentagon, the American Defense Headquarters was also
damaged.
            
According to all the sources, in these terrorist attempts several thousands people have lost
their lives or have been seriously injured, and beyond this the morals of the people in this
country has been hurt ferociously, and financial damage will certainly be in billions of
dollars.
            
The question that what group or state has planned and executed such a criminal action is not
yet known, especially when the terrorists themselves have been killed along the victims of
these crimes.  But the important issue is that as it was expected these terrorist actions were
confronted with worldwide anger and abhorrence, and condemned globally.  It is not a
remote possibility that the planners of this crime against humanity might be among those
who have condemned it, and in this case their aim is bewilderment of the issue and escaping
from contempt against the international public opinion.
            
Regardless of the fact that who has been behind the Tuesday’s deadly criminal actions,
Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan, that on one hand has never restored to any antagonist
terrorist attempts, and on the other it has suffered greatly from being a victim of terrorist
attacks itself, strongly condemns this inhumane actions.  On these shocking moments, we
present our condolences to all the relatives of the victims of this crime and to the people of
the United States of America, and wish those injured or affected in this tragic event to be
cured immediately.
            
The occurrence of such a human tragedy requires deliberate and scientific analysis and
investigations that no doubt the experts and the bodies investigating the case will perform
within weeks and months ahead.  The only issue that needs to be addressed in this regard is
that it must be said that we should hope the states and the decision making centers
worldwide are awakened by this tragic event, and instead of thinking of punishing a few
terrorists, must attempt to weaken the roots of terrorism and eradicate its causes that bring
about such repulsive and inhumane actions.
             
With condemning terrorism any where in the world and in all its modes.
  
The Political Bureau of Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan
