“Once again, savage terrorists targeted a group of innocent civilians with two explosions in Al-Tayaran Square in Baghdad, and as a result, in a horrific scene that hurts the hearts of all people with a living conscience, dozens of people were martyred and many more were injured.
We extend, therefore, our deep and sincere condolences and sympathy to the relatives of the martyrs of this terrorist attack, and we pray the Almighty for the speedy recovery to the wounded.
We call on the relevant security services to increase their efforts to maintain security and thwart the plans of the enemies in the ambush of this oppressed nation who suffers from various aspects.
And there is no power except the power of Allah."
