Iraq: SRSG condemns the criminal bombings of innocent civilians calling them repugnant
Baghdad - 10 November 2008 - The
Special Representative of the United Nations Secretary-General for Iraq
(SRSG) Staffan de Mistura condemned the double bombing in the Kasra district
of Baghdad today killing dozens of innocent civilians and wounding scores
more. Mr. de Mistura described these detestable bombings as, "repugnant
crimes aimed at re-instilling fear, distrust and division among the public
just as Iraq prepares itself to assume political normalcy with the upcoming
provincial elections."
The SRSG extends the United Nations' sincere condolences to the bereaved families and its wishes for the full and speedy recovery for the wounded.
