RIYADH/BAGHDAD — Saudi Arabia has strongly condemned and denounced Monday’s terror attack in Baghdad. In a statement carried by Saudi Press Agency, the Saudi ministry of foreign affairs said: "We strongly condemn and denounce the terrorist attack that took place in Iraq, and we extend our condolences to the families of the victims, to the government and people of Iraq, and to those injured a speedy recovery." Unidentified gunmen killed at least 11 people and wounded eight others including soldiers in an attack on an Iraqi army post in western Baghdad, police sources, and medics said on Monday. The attackers in four vehicles attacked the post in the capital’s southwestern district of Al-Radhwaniya using grenades and automatic weapons, the sources said. The Iraqi military said in a statement that a “terrorist group” of four elements attacked a post of government-backed militiamen, killing four people and wounding three. The army and police forces have started an operation in search of the attackers, police sources said. — Agencies
