BEIRUT, July 5 (Xinhua) -- Lebanon's Foreign Ministry condemned on Tuesday the heinous terrorist attacks that recently rattled the Iraqi capital, which left at least 165 people killed and 225 others wounded.
"The brutality of the attacks which recently rocked Iraq stands as a flagrant proof of the absurdity of the terrorist forces targeting this region and its security and stability," a foreign ministry statement said.
The Islamic State (IS) claimed responsibility of Sunday's car bomb explosion that ripped through a crowded shopping area in Baghdad.
The ministry expressed full solidarity with Iraqi people and government, and offered condolences to the families of victims and wished the injured speedy recovery. Enditem
