Iran has censured a terrorist attack on a police college in the Pakistani city of Quetta and expressed its readiness to help the country fight terrorist groups.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran has always stressed the importance of cooperation in the fight against terrorist groups and expresses its readiness to help the Pakistani government in this regard,” Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said on Tuesday.
He urged all countries to engage in a fundamental and serious campaign against the ominous phenomenon of terrorism.
The Iranian spokesperson also offered his condolences to the Pakistani government and nation and extended his sympathy to the bereaved families of the victims.
At least 61 people were killed and more than 110 others wounded after terrorists attacked the police college in Quetta in the restive Pakistani province of Balochistan late Monday.
The Takfiri Daesh terrorist group on Tuesday claimed responsibility for the attack after authorities said the attackers belonged to a militant group affiliated with the Pakistani Taliban.
