Falun Gong Condemns the Terrorist Actions that Harm Humanity

It was with shock that we heard on the morning of September 11, 2001 that America had been attacked by terrorists.

According to reports from mainstream U.S. media, two commercial airliners that had been hijacked crashed into the World Trade Center in Manhattan, New York City at about nine o'clock this morning. Before noon, the twin towers of the World Trade Center had collapsed in quick succession. The casualties are heavy.

Another hijacked airplane crashed in Somerset, near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and all 45 people aboard perished. A total of 226 people died today from the four planes that were hijacked. It was also reported that the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. burst into flames after it was hit by another hijacked airplane.

We are against all acts of violence and hate. We also express our outrage and condemnation towards this kind of evil terrorist activity that does such harm to humanity. We deeply regret and mourn the innocent lives that were harmed in this disaster, and extend our heartfelt condolences to their families and friends, particularly those who reside in New York or Washington DC.

The world needs peace and living beings need sincerity, kindness, and tolerance. Best wishes to the United States and the people of America that they will quickly recover from the shadow of disaster!
