BAGHDAD, Iraq - The U.S. Embassy Baghdad and the Multi-National Force-Iraq strongly condemn the terrorist suicide bombings that occurred today in Baghdad and Kirkuk. The targets of these vicious and cowardly attacks were innocent Iraqi men, women, and children who were freely practicing their democratic rights and religious faith.
We will work closely with the people and Government of Iraq to confront these horrible acts with calm determination. It is crucial that the Iraqi people remain united and steadfast in the face of those terrorists who would use violence to destroy a free Iraq and set back the progress for which so many have so bravely sacrificed.
