[Iran Press TV Latest] Iran and Syria call for the restoration of peace and stability in Iraq after a recent twin truck bombing in Iraq killed 95 and injured some 600 people. Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki met with the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Sunday, during which the two sides condemned the recent bombings in Iraq and called for unity among the Iraqis.
During the meeting, Assad also rejected allegations against his country over the bombings as 'unacceptable' and urged Iraq to present solid evidence over the charges.
The terrorist attacks on August 19 struck the ministries of finance and foreign affairs in central Baghdad.
Iraq has accused Syria of sheltering terrorists linked to the massive bombings. Baghdad says senior members of the former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein's Baath party who are in exile in Syria have plotted the bombings.
Mottaki arrived in Syria on Sunday, a day after a short surprise visit to Iraq. In Syria, he met with the president and his Syrian counterpart Walid al-Muallem.
