BRUSSELS, Feb 28 (KUNA) -- Javier Solana, European Union High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy, strongly condemned Monday the terrorist attack committed in Hilla, Iraq.
"I strongly condemn the terrorist attack this morning in Hilla, where a massive car bomb killed over 100 people and wounded at least 130. I want first of all to express my sympathy and deepest condolences to the families of the victims," a statement by Solana said.
"It is shocking and deeply regrettable that violence and terrorist attacks are still prevalent in Iraq now that the Iraqi people has taken the first courageous steps towards democracy," the statement which KUNA received said.
Solana also called upon the newly elected Transitional Assembly and on all political leaders and actors in Iraq "to work towards a broadly-based Transitional Government that will be able to take up the challenges confronting Iraq, with the full support of the international community." (end) bk.
I just don't get it, especially after so many similar occurrences!!!!!
My guess is as good as yours. I just don't understand that either. They are sitting ducks when they do that.
"Why in the hell do these people insist on lining up in large numbers and not restricting traffic in the area!!!!!!!!
I just don't get it, especially after so many similar occurrences!!!!!"
Baby steps, baby steps. We have to remember, these are the same people that as a Region, managed to get soundly defeated by Israel in 6 days.
I am dumbfounded to believe that those people are that stupid!!
But you're right.
Stupid is as stupid does...over and over again.
