Baghdad, August 20: NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen on Wednesday released the following statement on the deadly terrorist attacks in Baghdad, which killed nearly one hundred people and injured hundreds more earlier today.
“On behalf of NATO, I condemn in the strongest possible terms the terrorist attacks in Baghdad today. I would like to express NATO’s sincere condolences to the Iraqi government, the Iraqi people and to the families and loved ones of the victims of these bloody attacks. This tragic loss of life and suffering underscore, yet again, the grave danger the terrorist threat poses to all of us.
There can be no justification for such cowardly and pointless attacks. NATO will continue to work with Iraq in training the Iraqi security forces and to cooperate in the fight against the scourge of terrorism,” Rasmussen said.
