United Nations, United States--UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on Friday praised three Muslim students gunned down in North Carolina and said he was "deeply moved" by scenes of thousands of people mourning their deaths.
Deah Shaddy Barakat, 23; his new wife Yusor Mohammad, 21; and her 19-year-old sister Razan Mohammad Abu-Salha were killed on Tuesday, allegedly at the hands of a neighbor who railed against religion.
"At a time of troubling tensions stoked by those who seek to twist the teachings of faith and sow division, these three young people represented the best values of global citizenship and active community compassion to build a better world for all," Ban said in a statement read by his spokesman.
