Child Suicide Bombing of Pakistan Mosque, by Ambassador mo
Posted on at
UN Secterary General Ki-moon strongly condemned the suicide bombing at a mosque in north-western Pakistan that has reportedly killed more than 40 people and injured at least 100 others. Media reports say the attack took place during Friday prayers at a mosque in the village of Ghundi in Pakistan’s Khyber tribal region. Contrary to Spirit of Ramadan: In a statement issued by his spokesperson, Mr. Ban offered his condolences and said he was “appalled at this deliberate attack at a place of worship during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, and the reported use of a teenager to perpetrate the attack.” The statement stressed that the United Nations will continue to stand by Pakistan in its efforts to combat terrorism. Children Employed as Suicide Bombers: In a separate statement, Radhika Coomaraswamy, Mr. Ban’s Special Representative for Children and Armed Conflict, noted that there has been an increase around the world this year in the use of children – whether wittingly or unwittingly – as suicide bombers. “A more despicable act is hard to fathom” she said. “Those who use girls’ and boys’ bodies as bombs are the worst victimizers of children. We hope that an international outcry from every continent and creed will help bring an end to this practice.” Related ARTICLE – “Sanctions for Violators of Children-Somalis” - diplomaticallyincorrect.org/films/blog_post/sanctions-for-violators-of-children-in-somalia/32999 Recent ARTICLE - “Drone Attacks Condemned” - diplomaticallyincorrect.org/films/blog_post/un-condemnation-of-us-unmanned-drone-air-attacks-by-ambassador-mo/34453 By Ambassador Muhamed Sacirbey Facebook Become a Fan at “Diplomatically Incorrect” Twitter – Follow at DiplomaticallyX Related Reports at diplomaticallyincorrect.org/c/war-crimes-justice
