UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the UN Security Council on Tuesday condemned the deadly terrorist attack against the Tunisian Presidential Guard bus in Tunis, Tunisia, which killed at least 12 people.

The secretary-general, in a statement issued here by his spokesman, offered his condolences to the families of the victims and the people and government of Tunisia.

"The secretary-general reiterates that the United Nations will continue to stand with the people of Tunisia as they confront the scourge of terrorism and continue to consolidate and strengthen their democracy," the statement said.

In a separate statement to the press here, the Security Council condemned "in the strongest terms" the terrorist attack, and "underlined the need to bring perpetrators, organizers, financiers and sponsors of this reprehensible act of terrorism to justice." Enditem
