Mr. President,
On behalf of the Government and people of the Kingdom of
Bahrain, I convey to you our condolences at the death in
Saudi Arabia of an American citizen, Mr. Paul Johnson. His
kidnapping and violent death is strongly condemned by all
peace-loving people. My Government commends the efforts of
the Saudi Arabian authorities in pursuing those who chose to
follow their political aims through acts of terror and we
