Greece extends support for London terror attack

Greece's government has expressed condemnation and horror at the overnight terror attack in London where five people were killed and over 20 injured, after a man drove into pedestrians before launching into Westminster with a knife.

Greece’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has no reports of Greek citizens amongst the victims but is liaising with the Greek embassy in London monitoring developments closely in cooperation with the relevant British authorities.

The Ministry released an official statement at news of the attack where it strongly condemned the terrorist attack outside the British Parliament on Wednesday, describing it as a "cowardly act" and noting Greece's support for the people of the United Kingdom.

“We express our abhorrence at the heinous and cowardly terrorist act which occurred today in London. Greece condemns terrorism unequivocally and stands on the side of the government and the people of the United Kingdom,” the ministry said.

In a tweet posted earlier on the ministry's account, it expressed its “shock” over the attack.  “Shocked by the horrific terrorist attack outside the British Parliament. We express full support to the people of #London.”
