NEW YORK, United States: United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon expressed anger at the slaughter of hundreds of Husseini mourners in attacks across Iraq Tuesday urging better protection for civilians.

In a statement, his spokesperson Michele Montas said: "The Secretary-General is outraged by the series of bomb attacks in Iraq today on pilgrims who were making their way to the holy city of Karbala."

Ban "condemns these heinous acts," it added.

Also, Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokesman Mohammad-Ali Hosseini on Wednesday strongly condemned the massacre of scores of Husseini mourners in two suicide bomb attacks in Hilla.
