Iraq: UN envoy condemns bombing of mosque as showing ‘total disdain for Islam’
“This cowardly attack, happening during the holy month of Ramadan and as worshippers were gathered for evening prayers, shows the terrorists’ total disdain for Islam and rejection of its values,” said Ján Kubiš, the UN Secretary-General’s Special Representative for Iraq, and head of the UN Assistance Mission for Iraq (UNAMI), in a statement issued on Tuesday.
Also in the statement, he expressed his condolences to the families of those killed and wishes the injured a speedy recovery.
