(KUNA) -- EU High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy, Javier Solana, said Friday that he is "appalled at the suicide bombing in a mosque in Sherpao, Pakistan"."I condemn in the strongest possible terms this attack that killed dozens of civilians and left dozens injured during a religious service," said Solana in a statement. "Pakistan is currently going through a delicate period in its history. The lifting of the emergency rule, the restoration of the Constitution and the holding of general elections on 8 January are welcome steps in the country's return to the path of democracy. Nothing should undermine this trend," added the statement.
