Brennan Places Call to President Hadi of Yemen
The following statement was released today by White House Press Secretary Jay Carney.
Today, Assistant to the President for Homeland
Security and Counterterrorism John Brennan called Yemeni President Abdo Rabu
Mansour Hadi to convey President Obama’s deep condolences for the cowardly
terrorist attack in Sana’a that brutally killed and injured more than 100
Yemeni soldiers. Mr. Brennan strongly condemned the despicable violence
that struck as Yemen’s military forces were preparing to celebrate their
country’s unity on Yemen’s National Day. Mr. Brennan offered U.S.
assistance on the investigation into this tragic incident and said that the
United States would stand by Yemen’s side at this difficult time. President Hadi thanked the United States for its support and vowed to continue
his nation’s fight against al-Qa’ida so that the Yemeni people can live in a secure,
stable, and prosperous environment that is free of terrorist violence. Mr. Brennan and President Hadi reaffirmed the unshakable partnership between
Yemen and the United States, and President Hadi pledged not to let terrorist
acts interfere with Yemen’s peaceful political transition.
