BEIRUT, June 5 (Xinhua) -- Lebanon's Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday strongly condemned the terrorist attack that took place on Saturday night in central London, leaving at least seven people killed and 48 others injured.
Unidentified attackers drove a van into pedestrians on London Bridge on Saturday night and stabbed people in the nearby Borough Market area, which was crowded with people at the time.
Seven people died and some 48 wounded by the attack, in addition to the three attackers who were shot dead by police.
In a statement released by the Lebanon's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it said "in the face of this new tragedy in Britain, which hasn't yet recovered from the horrors of Manchester and Westminster attacks, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirms Lebanon's support, more than ever before, to the British people and their government."
The statement expressed full support in the international battle against terrorism, renewing calls on the international community "to unite, cooperate, and take immediate and coordinated action to eliminate terrorism and its dangerous Takfiri ideology."
