Denouncing terrorist attacks, Syria voices solidarity with Iraqis

DAMASCUS, (ST)_ An official source at the Foreign and Expatriates Ministry underscored  on Monday that Syria denounces  in the strongest terms the coward terrorist attacks which hit  Baghdad suburbs and elsewhere across Iraq. The wave of attacks claimed the  lives of scores and injured hundreds of innocent Iraqis.

”As it deeply expresses solidarity with the  victims’ families and standing by them during these tough circumstances, Syria urges the countries and groups behind these criminal acts, bankrolling and arming  terrorists, to instantly halt  killing Iraqis and targeting the unity and territorial integrity of Iraq, ‘underlined  the ministry .

The source made it clear that Syria calls on the UN Security Council and the international community to condemn such  acts and hold responsible for those who fund  terrorism and providing terrorists with weapons and inciting them to perpetrate massacres.

“the biggest danger that faces the world today is the double-standard policies and the nations which branded  the terrorism that serves their interests as  legitimate which definitely  jeopardizes the unity of the international counter-terrorism front, “concluded the source.
