UN Envoy condemns bomb attacks in Sadr City and Baquba; calls them cowardly

This latest attack comes after a car bomb was detonated near a restaurant in Baquba on 9 May which also left large numbers of casualties.

“These are cowardly terrorist attacks on civilians who have done nothing but going about their normal daily lives”, Mr. Kubiš said.

“Such acts of terrorist violence are certainly against all the principles of decency and humanity, and as such must be strongly condemned”, Mr. Kubiš added.

“I call on the authorities to do their utmost to quickly bring the perpetrators to justice, and express my deepest condolences to the families of those who lost their lives and wish the injured a speedy recovery”, SRSG Kubiš further added.
