TEHRAN, July 23 (Xinhua) -- Iran's Foreign Ministry condemned the Friday terrorist attack at a shopping center in Munich of Germany and urged an international response to terrorism, official IRNA news agency reported on Saturday.
"Today, fighting terrorism, in whatever form and place, is an urgent and serious demand of the international community and human conscience," Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qasemi said on Saturday.
"The killing of the innocent and defenceless people today has turned into a shameful mark in the history of human being, and there is no other way than waging a relentless and comprehensive struggle to eradicate it," said Qasemi.
On Friday, an 18-year-old German-Iranian opened fire in a shopping mall in Munich, which killed at least 10 people and injured 16 others, according to media reports.
