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. (end)
