EU condemns attack on mosque in Damascus

BRUSSELS, March 23 (KUNA) -- EU High Representative Catherine Ashton Saturday "strongly condemned" the suicide bombing at the Al-Iman mosque in Damascus on Thursday evening, which killed a large number of people including a leading cleric.
"I am appalled by the deteriorating situation in Syria and the unacceptable level of violence, which continues to cause suffering to millions of Syrians. The EU has repeatedly condemned all attacks, especially when indiscriminately targeting civilians," she said in a statement.
Ashton called once more on all parties to engage in talks leading to a political solution to the conflict as promoted by the UN/League of Arab States Joint Special Representative Lakhdar Brahimi. (end) nk.tg KUNA 231436 Mar 13NNNN
