Singapore condemns ISIS after hostage killing

Xinhua, November 20, 2015 Adjust font size:

Singapore condemns the killing of Chinese national Fan Jinghui and Norwegian national Ole Johan Grimsgaard-Ofstad by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) said in a statement on Thursday.

"We extend our deepest condolences to the families of Mr. Fan and Mr. Grimsgaard-Ofstad." said the MFA spokesman.

MFA also stressed that the international community must come together to effectively combat the threat posed by ISIS and other terrorist groups.

China has condemned the Islamic State group for killing the Chinese national, promising a crackdown on terrorism. Chinese President Xi Jinping said earlier Thursday that China "firmly opposes terrorism of all forms" and "will resolutely crack down on any terrorist crime that challenges the bottom line of human civilization."
