Chinese Foreign Ministry
spokeswoman Zhang Qiyue Saturday identified that a Chinese worker
was killed in Friday's suicide bombing in Jerusalem, Israel, and
other two were wounded with another missing.
Zhang said that the Chinese Embassy in Israel had sent officials to
Jerusalem to identify the dead and wounded together with the
companies that the Chinese worked for, soon after the bomb's
explosion.
The Chinese government expressed sympathy and condolence to the
workers and their families, Zhang said.
China condemned the violence targeted at innocent civilians and
strongly called for Israel and Palestine to stop violent
confrontation as soon as possible and prevent more people from
being killed and injured, she added.
The government also hoped Chinese people in Israel and those
planning to go there to take care of themselves and keep in
frequent touch with their families and contact the Chinese Embassy
in Israel in case of emergency, Zhang said.
