Archbishop of Bogotá
Having received news of the cruel terrorist attack which has caused suffering and death in the city of Bogotá, Pope Francis expresses his most profound sorrow for the victims who have lost their lives as a result of such an inhumane act and he is offering prayers for their eternal repose. In these moments of commotion and sadness, he wishes also to express his support and closeness to the numerous others who are wounded, to their families and to all the Colombian people.
