Iraq condemns Aleppo blast

Iran condemned on Sunday the large blast that killed more than 112 people in Rashidin, west of Aleppo, on Saturday.

The attack targeted buses carrying Syrians evacuated from two besieged government-held towns, Fouaa and Kefraya in Idlib province, under a deal reached between the Syrian government and rebels.

Iraq strongly condemns this criminal terrorist attack that targeted innocent civilians who were evacuated from Fouaa and Kefraya, the Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

The ministry urged the international community to show seriousness in reaching a peaceful settlement to the Syrian crisis away from attempts of some countries to serve its interests at the expense of Syrian people's sufferings.

A vehicle-born improvised explosive device is reportedly to be behind the blast.
