Iraq: UN envoy calls on all sides to shun cycle of reprisals following mosque attacks
“Once again, places of worship are being attacked. The perpetrators want to incite sectarian violence, in a desperate attempt to take the country back into the dark days of sectarian strife,” Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s Special Representative Ján Kubiš said in astatement.
“I appeal to all sides to refrain from being drawn into a cycle of reprisals by these outrageous acts which aim to drive a wedge between the various components of Iraqi society,” he added.
Kubiš also condemned the attacks on the Baghdad shopping mall and car bomb attack, which claimed a number of lives and left many injured on Monday.
