Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on Saturday strongly condemned a series of terrorist attacks in Paris on Friday that killed at least 127 people and extended his deepest sympathy to the bereaved families.

"I'm deeply shocked and saddened to learn about the barbaric attacks on Bataclan Theatre and other places, including a Cambodian restaurant, in Paris, leaving hundreds of innocent people dead and injured on Nov. 13," he said in a condolence message sent to French President Francois Hollande.

"At the sorrowful moment of the French people, on behalf of the government and people of Cambodia, I extend to Your Excellency, French people and families of the victims my deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences," he said.

"The government and people of Cambodia strongly condemn this abominable crime and hope that the criminals will face serious prosecution," he said.

At least 127 people were killed and more than 200 injured in six coordinated attacks Friday night in Paris, according to the French police's latest report. Enditem
