Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab-African Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdolahian condemned on Thursday the recent terrorist attacks in Iraq stressing that flames of such moves would be spread across the region, Trend reported.
A coordinated wave of car bombs struck Shiite pilgrims in Baghdad and several other cities Wednesday, in one of the deadliest days in Iraq since US troops withdrew from the country.
According to the latest reports, over 80 people were reported dead, and 300 more were injured.
Wednesday's blasts were the third this week targeting the annual pilgrimage that sees hundreds of thousands of Shiites converge on a golden-domed shrine in Baghdad's northern neighborhood of Kazimiyah to commemorate the eighth century death of a revered Shiite saint, Imam Moussa al-Kadhim. The commemoration culminates on Saturday.
