Iraqi president condemns "barbaric" Nice attack

Xinhua, July 15, 2016 Adjust font size:

Iraqi President Fuad Masoum on Friday condemned the terror attack in Nice, which left at least 84 people dead during French National Day celebrations.

"With deep pain toward the victims of the run-over terrorist incident in the city of Nice last night, we express our strong condemnation for such barbaric act which contradicts all human values," Masoum said in a statement issued by his office.

The Nice attack "reaffirms the importance of strengthening solidarity and cooperation between the international community, and the need to activate all necessary means to fight terrorism in all its forms," he said.

At least 84 people were killed and more than 100 others injured on Thursday night after a truck rammed into a crowd on the famous Promenade des Anglais in Nice. Endit
