UN Acting Special Representative Walpole Condemns Tarmiya Suicide Bombing

“After their military defeat, remnants of the Da’esh terrorist organisation continue to seek to destabilise Iraq. With total disregard for human and religious values, these terrorists targeted a group of mourners receiving condolences, and they struck on the eve of the Islamic Holy Month of Ramadan. It was a despicable act. But, as in the past, they will fail to dampen the independent, democratic spirit of the Iraqi people, who are looking ahead to a future of peace and prosperity,” Ms. Walpole said.

“I offer my deepest condolences to the families of those killed, and I wish the injured a rapid recovery.”
