Canada on Wednesday condemned the terrorist attack on the U.S. embassy in Yemen and reiterated commitment to fighting terrorism.
"Canada condemns the terrible attack this morning on the U.S. embassy in Sanaa, Yemen. We extend our sincere condolences to the families of the Yemeni civilians and security guards killed in the attack and we wish a rapid recovery to those who were injured," said a statement released by the Foreign Affairs Department.
"Canada is committed to fighting terrorism and to working internationally with all of our allies in this regard," it said.
Sixteen people were killed in an attack outside the U.S. embassy in Yemen earlier Wednesday. A radical group calling itself the Islamic Jihad in Yemen claimed responsibility for the attack.
