U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Friday condemned the suicide attacks at a mosque that killed more than 20 people in the Sistan-Balochistan province of Iran.
“The United States extends its sympathy to the families and loved ones of those injured and killed. We also call for the perpetrators of this horrific attack to be held accountable for their actions,” Ms. Clinton said in a statement.
Noting that the U.S. condemns all forms of terrorism and sectarian-driven violence, Ms. Clinton said: “This attack, along with the recent attacks in Uganda, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iraq and Algeria, underscores the global community’s need to work together to combat terrorist organisations that threaten the lives of innocent civilians all around the world.”
