UN Council condemns Iraq attacks

The Security Council "condemned in the strongest terms the wave of terrorist attacks," whose targets included the French honorary consulate premises in Nasiriyah, said a statement by the 15-nation body.
Council members "expressed their deep sympathy and sincere condolences to the victims of these heinous acts and to their families, and to the people and the government of Iraq," added the statement.
More than 118 people have been killed in militant attacks in Iraq already this month.
