US President George W. Bush on Sunday condemned the attack on an international church in Islamabad that killed a U.S. diplomat's wife and daughter.

Bush said he was outraged by the terrorist attack against innocent civilians. "I strongly condemn them as acts of murder that cannot be tolerated by any person of conscience nor justified by any cause," he said in statement.

"We will work closely with the government of Pakistan to ensure those responsible for this terrorist attack face justice," he added.

Five people were killed and 46 others injured on Sunday in a grenade attack on the Protestant International Church in the Pakistani capital. The Protestant church, less than one kilometer from the U.S. Embassy, is in a heavily guarded diplomatic enclave.
