Iran Condemns Terrorist Bomb Attack on Bus Convoy Evacuating People from Kafraya and Fou’a

Iran has condemned a deadly Takfiri bomb attack on buses carrying people from two villages in Syria’s northwestern province of Idlib.

Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qassemi made the condemnation on Saturday while offering his condolences to the Syrian government.

 Earlier, tens of people were killed in the blast, which hit al-Rashideen district on the western outskirts of Aleppo, located some 355 kilometers north of the capital Damascus, as buses were stopping at a checkpoint.

The buses were evacuating residents of Kefraya and al-Foua villages in accordance with an agreement reached between the Syrian government and foreign-sponsored Takfiri militant groups last month.

“The shameful criminal act by Takfiri terrorists in the cowardly attack on buses carrying the people of al-Foua and Kefraya in Syria and killing tens of innocent and defenseless women and children have added to the record of atrocities carried out by terrorists and their supporters,” said Qassemi, according to Press TV.

He went on to slam those who claim to be supporters of the Syrian nation but refrain from commenting on such actions.

Qassemi further stressed that dividing militants into “good and bad” by supporters of such groups only serves to embolden terrorists.
