Déclarations | Porte-parole du Secrétaire général
The Secretary-General is repulsed and outraged by the deaths of a large number of children, among other civilians, in the latest suicide bombing today in Baghdad. He condemns in the strongest terms this senseless act of violence.
As the Secretary-General has said repeatedly, there can be no justification for the deliberate targeting of civilians –much less children, who are our hope for the future. Nothing will be accomplished by today's killing of innocents.
