MNF-I condemns attacks near hospital

BAGHDAD, Iraq — Multi-National Force—Iraq strongly condemns today’s attacks near a hospital in Balad Ruz, located 50 km east of Baqubah, which killed 31 Iraqis and wounded 52, including children.

Al-Qaeda in Iraq continues their malicious tactics against the people of Iraq and their way of life. They have no respect for the rule of law and Iraqi values, and seek violence and chaos in Iraq for their own corrupt agenda.

Multi-National Force-Iraq is working closely with Iraqi authorities to ensure adequate medical supplies and humanitarian assistance for the victims and their families. We are also working closely with Iraqi Security Forces to help find those who planned and directed this attack, to bring them to justice.
