White House condems 'terrorist attacks' in Iran



WASHINGTON- The White House Friday condemned "terrorist attacks" in Iran, following a suicide bombing at a Shiite mosque and an assault by gunmen on a provincial campaign office of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Earlier, the State Department had rejected claims by Iranian officials that the United States was involved in the deadly firebombing of a mosque in southeastern Iran.



"The United States strongly condemns the recent terrorist attacks inside Iran," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said in a statement.
"The American people send their deepest condolences to the victims and their families. No cause justifies terrorism, and the United States condemns it in any form, in any country, against any people."
