It is with sadness that the Initiatives for International Dialogue (IID) condoles with the families of those who lost loved ones to the senseless terrorist act of September 1 in Davao City. In the midst of the evening's gaiety and in the common clasp of family and friends, 14 innocents were brutally and violently ripped from our midst, and 67 others were left scarred by this single, heartless and cold-blooded act of terror. With them all and together with the citizens of Davao, we now mourn and send our prayers. Less visible yet equally painful to us are the fresh wounds left on the psyche of Davao's people, along with the rest of us working worldwide in seeking a more peace-filled and just world.
