(Vatican
Radio) Pope Francis has sent a message expressing his closeness to the
people of Turkey following a suicide car bombing Sunday evening in
Ankara. At least 37 people died and more than 120 were injured after a
car loaded with explosives was detonated near bus stops in the Turkish capital.
In a telegram
to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro
Parolin wrote on behalf of the Holy Father that the Pope was “deeply saddened
to learn of the injury and tragic loss of life caused by the bombing in
Ankara.”
“His Holiness
Pope Francis assures the Turkish people of his spiritual closeness and
solidarity. He prays for the eternal rest of those who have died and for
all who mourn their loss, as well as for the recovery of those affected by this
heinous act of violence. Mindful of the generous service being rendered
by security and emergency personnel, His Holiness invokes the divine blessings
of peace, healing and strength upon the nation."
