UN ENVOY CONDEMNS ATTACKS TARGETING DOZENS OF PROTESTERS IN NORTHERN
IRAQNew York, Jun 25 2013 1:00PMThe United Nations envoy in Iraq
today strongly condemned the attacks that killed and injured dozens of
protesters, including two prominent Turkmen leaders, in the northern
town of Tuz Khurmatu.

"Such attacks aim to heighten tensions in this particularly sensitive
region of Tuz Khurmatu," said the Secretary-General's Special
Representative for Iraq, Martin Kobler.

According to media reports, two suicide bombers blew themselves up
inside a tent packed with Turkmen protesters, killing at least 11
people and wounding 55 others. Among the injured are Turkmen leaders,
Ahmed Abdel-Wahed and Ali Hashem Mukhtar Oglou.

The protesters were calling for more protection and security in the
town, which is regularly hit with attacks.

Mr. Kobler urged Iraqi leaders to ensure that communities are
protected and to take all necessary measures to defuse such an
alarming situation. He also reiterated his condemnation of all forms
of violence, and extended his sincere condolences to the families of
the victims.

The past couple of months have been some of the deadliest on record in
the country. In April, 712 Iraqis were killed and more than 1,600
injured. In May, the death toll increased to 1,045 and more than 2,300
were wounded, according to figures released by the United Nations
Assistance Mission in Iraq (UNAMI).Jun 25 2013 1:00PM
