Iran condemns terrorist attack in Nigeria

Iran has condemned a recent terrorist attack in the North eastern part of Nigeria that killed dozens of people.

While condoling with the families of the victims, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Hossein Jaber Ansari said that such acts of terror show the necessity to launch an all-out campaign against extremism, the Iranian Foreign Ministry website reported March 18.

Recall that a suspected Boko Haram terrorist group suicide bomb attack on March 16 killed at least 22 Muslim worshippers at a mosque in Maiduguri.

According to rescue officials, two female suicide bombers were believed to have carried out the attack, which injured 17 people.

While one bomber blew herself up inside the mosque, the second did so outside as survivors of the first blast tried to flee.
