Iran will bring to justice perpetrators of terrorist attacks in Iraq
Speaker of Iran’s Consultative Assembly (Majlis) Ali Larijani vowed on Sunday to bring to justice those involved in terrorist attacks against Iranian pilgrims in Iraq on April 23-24.
At least 63 Iranian pilgrims were killed and another 93 wounded in terrorist bombings against Iranians in Baquba and Kadhimiyah, Iraq, on April 23-24.
The Friday terrorist attacks took place when hundreds of worshippers had gathered to pray at an Islamic shrine in the historic and predominantly Shia neighborhood of Kadhimiyah in northern Baghdad while the Thursday blast occurred inside a crowded roadside restaurant filled with Iranian pilgrims in Baquba, Diyala province, northeast of Baghdad.
The suicide bomber, wearing a belt of explosives, blew himself up at lunch time.
Offering his deepest sympathy to the families of the victims, Larijani said that the terrorist attacks in Iraq and some other incidents which have taken place inside Iran within the past couple of days were indicative of the “US vicious planning to involve terrorists in a mine field which was prepared with the help of some regional states.”

“The terrorists should know that they have entered in very dangerous field and they would receive Iran’s harsh response,” the speaker stressed.
He further argued that the US footprints were found in some recent incidents occurred in the western and eastern parts of Iran.
Larijani said that such moves would prove Washington’s weakness more than ever.
“Iran considers those events against the slogans of change and dialogue,” Larijani said adding that some recent rhetoric of the US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in the US congress about crushing sanctions have proven US confusion.
Stressing that “US should be accountable for” its attitudes, Larijani advised Washington to learn from the past and its humiliating failure in the Tabas desert in eastern Iran and “avoid forcing Iran to show stinging reaction.”
The speaker said that “Iran expects the Iraqi government to show due response immediately” about the terrorist attacks and disclose those behind the curtain.
Larijani also urged the National Security and Foreign Policy Commission to follow up the case seriously.
