| US Blasts Security Council for Failing to Condemn Terror Attack in Israel |

By Peter Heinlein United Nations 07 December 2005 Washington's ambassador to the United Nations has criticized the Security Council for failing to condemn the latest terrorist attack in Israel. The envoy singled out Algeria for blocking a U.S. drafted statement. U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton issued a statement Tuesday unequivocally condemning the bomb attack in the Israeli town of Netanya that killed at least five people. The unusual action came after a U.S. attempt to have the statement issued by the Security Council was rejected. Diplomats attending the meeting say several Council members raised concerns about language in the U.S.-drafted document. Ambassador Bolton, however, blamed Algeria for quashing the measure by objecting to a passage urging Syria to close offices of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which claims responsibility for the attack. "Other governments had questions about particular language. We were perfectly prepared to engage in discussions about constructive suggestions, but Algeria categorically refused to name Syria and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad," he said. The U.S. envoy later read the text of the statement to reporters, and lashed out at the Council for what he called "failing to speak the truth". He said "you have to speak up in response to these terrorist attacks. It's a great shame that the Security Council couldn't speak to this terrorist attack in Netanya, but if the Council won't speak, the United States will." Well said, Ambassador Bolton. Limbaugh is right: The U.N. more closely resembles the cantina from Star Wars than a respectable organization. http://www.voanews.com/english/2005-12-07-vo a1.cfm" title="http://www.voanews.com/english/2005-12-07-vo a1.cfm" target="_blank"http://www.voanews.com/englis... |
