President Nelson Mandela expressed absolute shock and dismay at the news of the assassination of the Prime Minister of the State of Israel, Mr Yitzhak Rabin.

The assassination of Prime Minister Rabin is a setback not only for the Israeli people but for the Middle East peace process and the entire community of nations.
