Arab League condemns Iraq “terrorism” | ||
2007-08-16 | ||
CAIRO - The Arab League on Wednesday condemned devastating suicide truck bombings that killed more than 200 people in northern Iraq and appealed for national reconciliation. “The Arab League firmly condemns the explosions which on Tuesday killed hundreds of Yazidis,” the 22-nation body said in a statement after the blasts late Tuesday in two villages inhabited by members of the Yazidi minority.
The League offered its condolences to Iraqis who “continue to suffer from terrorist acts that killed hundreds of innocent people every day.” “National reconciliation is the best way of escaping from the spiral of violence that Iraq is going through,” it said.

#4 This condemnation of terrorism is only because Muslims are getting killed. Had the bomb gone off in any Western nation the Arab League's silence would have been deafening. Somebody remind me, way back in late 2001 did the Arab League immediately leap into action and condemn the 9-11 atrocities? [crickets] |
