AMMAN, Jan. 24 (Xinhua) -- Jordan on Wednesday condemned a terrorist attack in Libya's Benghazi that resulted in the death of tens of civilians and the injury of many others, the state-run Petra news agency reported.
Jordan's Minister of State for Media Affairs Mohammad Momani said the Jordanian government condemned the attack and rejected all forms of violence and terrorist acts that seek to sow seeds of sedition among the Libyans.
Such attacks, he said, were aimed at hampering efforts to realize stability in Libya.
Condemning the attack, the minister called for intensified international efforts to uproot terrorism.
He voiced Jordan's solidarity with Libya and for its efforts to restore stability.
