EU strongly condemns terror attacks in Iraq

BRUSSELS, March 20 (KUNA) -- EU High Representative Catherine Ashton Wednesday condemned "in the strongest possible terms the wave of terrorist attacks in the past days in Iraq," targeting innocent civilians as well as government institutions.
Dozens of people died as a result of these unacceptable attacks, and many more have been injured, she noted in a statement.
"I am confident that the Iraqi people will remain steadfast in their continued rejection of attempts by extremists to undermine the security and the stability of their country," she said and repeated calls on the Iraqi Government and all Iraqi leaders to engage in an inclusive and genuine dialogue to address the many challenges facing the country.
