Iran Condemns Terrorists’ Crimes of Beheading a Priest in France, a Child in Syria

TEHRAN– Spokesman for the Foreign Ministry, reacting to beheading a priest in France and a 12-year-old boy in Syria by terrorists, said Iran strongly condemns barbaric acts of violence regardless of where they happen.

‘Such a wild behavior is condemned and denounced no matter where it takes place,’ Bahram Qasemi said.

These inhuman measures carry a single message rooted in a deviant ideology that has been formed by fathers of terrorist groups of Daesh and al-Qaeda, Qasemi said.

 ‘Negligence in pains and sufferings of the displaced and defenseless people of some regional countries, interference of terrorists’ masters and promotion of Daesh ideology to produce and export hatred, violence, and terrorism all triggered such a tragedy that has become widespread all over the world as a chronic plague,’ he said.

Qasemi said these brutal crimes follow the aim of putting world people against each other and mounting sectarian wars.

He further urged the world nations to be united to seriously fight against terrorism.

On July 26, a terrorist stormed a church in Paris and cut the throat of an elderly priest.

In another horrible incident, a group of terrorists cut off the head of a 12-year-old by in Aleppo, north of Syria, on July 19.
