Pope Francis calls for unanimous condemnation of Brussels explosions

Pope Francis on Wednesday called for "unanimous condemnation" of extremist attacks in Brussels and elsewhere and urged prayers to convert hearts "blinded by cruel fundamentalism," ABC News reported.

At the end of his weekly public audience, the pontiff led thousands of people in St. Peter's Square in silent prayer for the victims of the airport and metro attacks a day earlier in the Belgian capital.

"I yet again appeal to all persons of good will to unite in unanimous condemnation of these cruel abominations that are causing only death, terror or horror," the pope said.
