IFTU statement on the London bombings

The Iraqi Federation of Trade Unions (IFTU) London office strongly condemns
the terrorist attacks in London that took place yesterday (7 July, 2005)
against innocent defenceless working people going about their daily routine.

We mourn the loss of life and pray for a speedy recovery of the injured.

These are unprovoked attacks, which lack any justification whatsoever.

We Iraqis know very well the sorrow Londoners are going through at the
moment and feel their pain as Iraq today battles against extremism for
democracy and human rights in a federal and united Iraq.

The perpetrators of these vile acts of barbarism must be brought to justice
and receive the deserved punishment.

We salute the brave, calm and tireless humanitarian response of workers in
the transport, emergency services and media who have demonstrated the
instinctive and universal duty of love and care to their fellow Londoners,
that is an example to trade unionists everywhere.
