EU Presidency Statement on the Series of Attacks on Shia Pilgrims in Iraq
The Presidency of the European Union is deeply shocked by the series of attacks carried out on Shia pilgrims in Iraq today (6 March), killing more than 100 people, many of them women and children. The Presidency utterly condemns these attacks. It would like to express its sympathy to the victims´ families and wishes those injured in the attacks a speedy recovery. The Presidency calls on all Iraqi groups to take a firm stand against violence. Lasting stability can only be achieved in Iraq if there is a comprehensive process of national reconciliation. The international conferences on Iraq planned for the coming weeks can contribute towards this. The European Union will continue to support the Iraqi Government in its reconstruction and stabilization efforts. March 6, 2007
