Iran’s Ahmadinejad raps US for profiteering policies

group, but have destructive effects on American society.
President Ahmadinejad Sunday night sent a message of condolence to the US over the killing of 28 people, including 20 children, in the Friday shooting spree at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

“Is it not time to seriously and carefully look for the cause of such stunning violent acts and to fundamentally reconsider the policies and plans that are devised based on the material interests and profiteering ambitions of a certain group and which has various destructive effects on society particularly innocent children and youths?” Ahmadinejad in his message.

“The bitter memory of the Colorado cinema shooting and other killing frenzies in this country is still fresh in the memories of the public, but the occurrence of another incident, which is much more terrible, has increased concerns about the continuation of this trend and attracted world public attention to causes of such bitter incidents in American society,” he added.

Iranian officials have condemned the recent shooting in the US, which claimed the lives of dozens of people and created widespread panic across the country. The shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School appeared to be the US’ second-deadliest school shooting, exceeded only by the Virginia Tech massacre in 2007, in which 32 people were killed and 17 others wounded. — Fars News Agency.
