Iran strongly denounces deadly attack in Syria's Aleppo

Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qassemi has strongly denounced a deadly Takfiri bomb attack on buses carrying people from two Shia-majority villages in Syria’s northwestern province of Idlib.

The Iranian spokesman made the condemnation while offering his condolences to the Syrian government and nation.

“The shameful criminal act by Takfiri terrorists in the cowardly attack on buses carrying the people of al-Foua and Kefraya in Syria and killing tens of innocent and defenseless women and children have added to the record of atrocities carried out by terrorists and their supporters,” said Qassemi.

He went on to slam those who claim to be supporters of the Syrian nation but refrain from commenting on such actions.

Qassemi further stressed that dividing militants into “good and bad” by supporters of such groups only serves to embolden terrorists.   

On Saturday, at least 126 people lost their lives and dozens of others were injured in the bombing that targeted several buses carrying people from two Shia-majority villages in Idlib as they were waiting to enter the city of Aleppo. At least 68 children were among the victims of the bomb attack.

The buses were evacuating residents of Kefraya and al-Foua villages in accordance with an agreement reached between the Syrian government and foreign-sponsored Takfiri militant groups last month.
