King Abdullah II

Jordanian King Abdullah II condemned the terrorist attack in California which claimed the lives of 14 people and left 21 others injured, a statement released by the Hashemite Royal Court said.

The Jordanian monarch sent a cable of condolences to US President Barak Obama over the victims of the shooting incident.

He said Jordan is standing by the US and is committed to partnership with Washington and the international community in the face of terrorism.

President Obama on Sunday night acknowledged that the US is "at war with terrorism" following a series of deadly terror attacks on American soil and around the world, and sought to assure Americans that the growing global terror threat will be defeated.

Obama spoke four days after terrorists apparently associated with ISIS fatally shot 14 people and wounded 21 more in San Bernardino, Calif. Those attacks came 19 days after a series of shootings and suicide bombings in Paris killed 130.
