Portuguese Prime Minister speaks

The attack occurred near the Ismaili center in Lisbon. About 15 million people in about 30 countries belong to the Shiite religious community. There are about 7000 believers in Portugal.

Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Costa expressed his solidarity and condolences to the victims and the Ismaili community. However, it was premature to “interpret this criminal act in any way”. (AFP)
