Lebanon condemns Baghdad's suicide bombings

BEIRUT, Jan. 15 (Xinhua) -- The Lebanese Foreign Ministry on Monday condemned the two suicide bombings in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad that killed 27 people.

"This cowardly act comes after the grand and important victory, when our brother Iraq defeated the terrorist group of Daesh (Islamic State)," the ministry said in a statement.

But the terrorists have proved that they are still present on Iraqi soil by continuing to spill the blood of the innocent people, it said.

The statement reiterated the importance of continuing to fight terrorism until "the last radical thinker" is defeated.

It also reaffirmed Lebanon's support for and unity with Iraq and its people.

Two suicide bombers blew themselves up at a busy street market in central Baghdad earlier Monday, killing 27 people and wounding 92 others. Enditem
