New York, Aug 22 (Just Earth News): United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Sunday condemned yesterday's terrorist attack on a wedding party in the Turkish city of Gaziantep – an act that was reportedly carried out by a suicide bomber and killed at least 50 people and wounded dozens of others.

The Secretary-General “condemns” the attack and “hopes that the perpetrators of this act will be quickly identified and brought to justice,” Ban's spokesperson said in a statement.

The UN chief again stressed the need to intensify regional and international efforts to prevent and combat terrorism and violent extremism, the statement said.

Also in the statement, the Secretary-General expressed his deepest sympathy and condolences to the families of the victims and to the Government and people of Turkey, and wished a speedy recovery to those injured.
