UN Chief Condemns suicide Attack in Baghdad

United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has condemned the terrorist bombing in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad today that killed more than 100 people in a busy shopping street - an attack which the top UN official in that country described as an "avenge by the terrorists of ISIS who have suffered defeats at the battlefront." The Secretary General condemns the terrorist attack and is appalled by the utter disregard for human life displayed by the perpetrators, who struck as residents prepared for Eid al-Fitr , Ban's spokesperson said in a statement. 
The Secretary-General appeals to the people of Iraq to reject any attempts to spread fear and undermine the unity of the country, calling on the Government to ensure that the perpetrators of this horrific crime are brought to justice as soon as possible, the spokesperson added. 
In the statement, Ban expressed his deep sympathy and condolences to the families of the victims, and to the Government and people of Iraq, wishing the many injured a speedy recovery. He also wished the people of Iraq a peaceful remainder of the holy month of Ramadan.
