The United States on Saturday condemned the terrorist attack on Karachi Police Office (KPO), and vowed to stand with Pakistan and its residents against the deadly terrorism wave across the country.
\nTerrorists of the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) on Friday stormed the KPO, located on Karachi\u2019s main artery, Shahrah-e-Faisal.
\nThe attack led to an hours long siege and floor-by-floor operation by security forces in which all four attackers ended up dead while four security officials and civilians were killed and over 19 injured.
\nThe State Department Spokesperson Ned Price said that violence is not a solution to any problem, and it must be stopped at the earliest.
\nNed Price expressed grief and condolences to the families of KPO attack.
\nThe US also issued a travel advisory for its citizens and instructed them to remain alerted while visiting the affected area.
\nThe US Embassy in Islamabad said, \u201cWe advise US citizens to take extra precautions, avoid traveling to the affected area and inform friends and family about their safety.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
