VATICAN CITY, NOV 13, 2001 (VIS) - Following is the telegram sent yesterday by Pope John Paul II to Bishop Thomas Daily of Brooklyn, New York, for the airplane crash in his diocese:
"Deeply saddened by news of the many victims of the airline tragedy which took place today in Queens, I commend the deceased to Almighty God's eternal love and invoke divine strength and comfort upon their grieving families. I give the assurance of my prayerful closeness to the entire nation at this time of distress."
An analagous telegram of condolences was sent by Cardinal Angelo Sodano, secretary of state, to Cardinal Nicolas de Jesus Lopez Rodriguez, archbishop of Santo Domingo and president of the Dominican Episcopal Conference. Santo Domingo was the destination of the plane that crashed in New York.
