Hillary's remarks
If any one or any group feels that they will achieve a great goal through terrorism, it will be a useless and unproductive effort. Such barbaric inhuman activities will only end in a fiasco. I think, every quarter should perceive the fact that terrorism cannot yield any positive outcome but destruction of lives and properties only contribute to increasing mistrust and hostilities among peoples of different cast and creed. Meanwhile, I would appeal to the Iraqi Muslims to end conflicts within themselves and other communities as Islam strongly pleads for maintaining peace and tranquillity. Let the differences between Muslims be resolved and peace established in Iraq. Meanwhile, I join US secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton in condemning the recent series of bombing attacks against Shia pilgrims in Iraq :
“The United States condemns the series of bombing attacks against Shi'a pilgrims in Iraq over the past week. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. Attacking men, women and children engaged in religious pilgrimage is reprehensible and exposes the cynical immorality of the terrorists who seek to replace Iraq's hard-won progress with violence and intimidation. They will not succeed in breaking the will of the Iraqi people. Iraqis are committed to realizing the promise of their democracy. There is no better rebuke to those who traffic in terror.”(Hillary Rodham Clinton, dt.05/02/2010}
