September 11 group condemns Iraq war

NEW YORK (CNN) --A group representing family members of victims of the September 11 terrorist attacks Thursday condemned the U.S. strikes against Iraq.

Quoting late civil rights leader The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the group -- called the "September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows" -- described the attacks as "illegal, immoral, and unjustified" in a statement sent to the media and families of September 11 victims.

The group said it was speaking out because members know how it feels to experience "shock and awe," and it does not want "other innocent families to suffer the trauma and grief that we have endured."

The group also condemned Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's regime, and expressed support and concern for American troops.

But it said the resulting civilian deaths of a war on Iraq and the consequences of destroying Iraq's environment and infrastructure could lead to many deaths in the future.

The group's members have traveled to Kabul, Afghanistan; Hiroshima, Japan; and Baghdad to express their opposition to military aggression as a response to terrorism.
