ISESCO condemns bomb attack in Baghdad

Xinhua, February 17, 2017 Adjust font size:

The Islamic Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (ISESCO) strongly condemned Thursday's car bomb attack in southwestern Baghdad.

ISESCO said in a statement that this "heinous act mirrors the delusion and the brutality of its perpetrators," adding that the Islamic State (IS) group "serves an evil agenda that aims to spark sectarian strife among Muslims."

The Islamic organ reiterated its support for Iraq in its fight against terrorism.

The car bomb in Baghdad, which was claimed by IS, killed over 50 people and wounded dozens. Endit
