Iraqi
Communists martyred
in heinous terrorist bombing of funeral in Diyala
The
Political Bureau of the Iraqi Communist Party strongly condemned yet another heinous
crime committed by terrorists, the enemies of the Iraqi people, targeting a
gathering of mourners at a funeral in the town of Shufta, east of the city of
Baqouba, in Diyala province, on 18th June 2012.
The cowardly
bombing killed 22 people and left more than 35 injured. The victims included
several members and supporters of the Iraqi Communist Party.
A statement issued by the Political Bureau said: “We have
stressed repeatedly that narrow partisan and selfish conflicts among the dominant
political blocs, and the state of impasse in the political situation, that have
nothing to do with the interests of the people and the country, will have a
negative impact on the already fragile security situation. This situation
results in significant and serious loopholes through which terrorists and
militia thugs would easily penetrate, leading to the loss of more victims and
innocent lives. It is as if Iraqi blood has become cheap, not only to the
terrorist murderers, but also to those who are supposed to protect the lives of
people and maintain their security and property.”
“We strongly condemn this barbaric criminal act. And once
again we call upon the ruling forces and parties to put an end to their
unprincipled conflicts, and demand that the government and its military and
security organs assume their responsibilities fully and strike hard at the criminals,
the enemies of life and humanity, regardless of whatever cover they have! Full protection must be provided to the Iraqi
people, of all social strata, religions, sects and ethnicities.”
The Political Bureau statement expressed deepest
condolences to the families of martyrs, and wished the wounded speedy recovery.
