Iran, Lebanon condemn Sri Lanka bombings

Iran’s foreign minister says he is “terribly saddened” by the Easter Sunday bombings in Sri Lanka that have killed at least 138 people.

Mohammad Javad Zarif tweets that “terrorism is a global menace with no religion: it must be condemned & confronted globally.”

Lebanon’s prime minister calls the attacks “blind terrorism” and offers solidarity to Sri Lanka’s people.

Saad Hariri in a tweet asks for mercy for the “innocent victims” and speedy recovery for the injured.

The series of blasts is the worst violence in Sri Lanka since the South Asian country’s bloody civil war ended a decade ago.
