    General Secretariat of Arab States League condemned the terrorist bombing in al-Sadr City, east of Baghdad.

    “Arab League condemns the brutal terrorist bombing that targeted the Al-Wahailat market in Al-Sadr City, east of Baghdad this evening, and led to the death of a number of innocent civilians among the martyrs and wounded,” according to a statement by the General Secretariat of the Arab League, received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA).

    The statement included that the Arab League expressed its sincere condolences and sympathy to the families of the victims and wishes for a speedy recovery for the injured.

    “This terrorist bombing, which took place on a glorious day and aims to destabilize security and stability in Iraq, should not undermine the efforts made to counter terrorism and uncontrolled weapons that are not under the control of the state," the statement noted that, "these despicable acts are attempts to harm the prestige of the state. Iraq is at an important time related to the preparations for the upcoming elections in October,”

    The League of Arab States reiterated, according to the statement, its full support and solidarity with the Iraqi state in all its efforts to enhance security and stability in Iraq.
