Iran expresses condolences to victims of Quebec attack

Tehran is condemning the deadly shooting at a Quebec mosque, calling it "inhumane and criminal," the state media reports.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Ghasemi said the attack shows that "terrorism is not confined to one region or a few countries."

The shooting at a Muslim cultural center in Quebec left six people dead and 17 injured, five of them severely. The attacker opened fire in the men's section of the mosque during the evening prayer on Sunday night.
