UN chief relieved end to France terrorism plot

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon SG signs a book of condolence at the Permanent Mission of France to the United Nations.

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has expressed relief that the French terrorists have been killed and urged all people around the world "to enhance the level of tolerance and respect for the belief and religions and tradition of others."

The UN chief said all differences of views on religion and other issues can be resolved through dialogue.

But he said the tragedy in Paris was not about religion.

"This is a purely unacceptable terrorist attack, criminality," Ban said.

The secretary-general spoke after signing a condolence book at France's UN Mission.

"We stand in solidarity with the people of France," Ban wrote in French on behalf of the United Nations.

"I am confident that even through these dark days, France will continue to serve as a beacon for freedom and tolerance."
