01 July 2009

BAGHDAD, 1 July 2009 – The Head of the United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI) angrily condemned the deadly bomb attack in al-Shourga market in Kirkuk, which killed and injured dozens of innocent people, describing it as yet another attempt to provoke reactions that would lead to sectarian and ethnic conflict, and aimed at undermining the hopes of the Iraqi people for an improvement in their lives.

UNAMI extends it sincere condolences to the families of the victims and wishes a speedy recovery for the wounded, and calls on all groups not to respond in the fashion that the killers want them to do: with revenge.
