I am deeply grieving over the killing and wounding of peaceful people as a result of a series of attacks which have happened in various places in Vienna, including near the building of the synagogue.
Sharing the pain of the tragedy with the Austrian people, I ask you to convey to relatives and loved ones of the victims my words of support and my wishes of a speedy recovery to all those who have been affected.
May Merciful God give strength to those who have been touched by this terrible disaster and send peace and consolation to people’s hearts.
With sincere condolences,
