On Tuesday, two terrorist blasts hit a restaurant south of Nasiriya and downtown Basra in southern Iraq, leaving scores of people dead or wounded.
“These are yet another examples that terrorists will stop at nothing in their attempts to achieve their objectives. But I am confident that the resolve of the Iraqi people will never allow them to do so”, Mr. Kubiš said in Baghdad. SRSG Kubiš also condemned the fatal attack on Sheikh Othman Al-Janabi in Baghdad yesterday.
“This was, no doubt, an attack that carries sectarian traits. We, at the United Nations, have said time and again that we have zero tolerance for such acts of sectarian terrorism”, SRSG Kubiš said. “I present my deepest condolences to the families and friends of those who lost their lives in these attacks and wish a speedy recovery for the wounded”, Mr. Kubiš added. “I call on the authorities to do their utmost in apprehending those responsible for such heinous crimes.”
