Syria condemned as “terrorism” Wednesday a deadly suicide attack on the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in Baghdad this week, saying such attacks harmed the Iraqi people’s interests. “Syria strongly condemns the destructive attack on the ICRC offices in Baghdad,” Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Bushra Kanafani said in remarks run by the official SANA news agency. “Such operations that target innocent life and humanitarian and international organizations, severely harm the interests of the Iraqi people.
