Coming so soon after the appalling Manchester bombing, Datuk Seri Najib said this new outrage shows that terrorism has no borders and knows no race or creed.

"My thoughts and prayers are with the loved ones of those affected. Even as the terrorists try to intimidate us, we must not fear them.

"Each atrocity must harden our resolve. Now more than ever is the time to be united, even as violent extremism seeks to divide us," he added.
