Palestinian Forum in Britain (PFB) declares its absolute condemnation of the attacks on the London underground stations which resulted in the killing of tens of innocent civilians and the injury of hundreds and would like to extend its deepest condolences to the families of the victims.

PFB hopes that these terrorist acts will not be taken as a pretext to harm or endanger the existence of all emigrants living in Europe and the US or spread an atmosphere of hatred and restrictions particularly towards Arabs and Muslims.

PFB aspires that these attacks have no negative implications on the British support of the Palestinian issue and the rights of the Palestinian people.

PFB insists that such acts are rejected by the majority of Arabs and Muslims in Britain and worldwide as they contradict with the divine Islamic teachings, which consider the unjust killing of one human soul as the killing of all mankind.

PFB calls on the British government to thoroughly investigate the crime and evidence before accusing any party, examine the political background which incited the bombings and take all necessary security precautions, which do not prejudice the rights of citizenship, to ensure the safety of all citizens, including the Arab and Muslim community.
