The IFTU on behalf of all Iraqi trade unionists today expressed deepest sorrow at the terrible tragedy that has befallen Iraq on 31 August in Kadhimiya, Baghdad, which has led to the death of more than 960 victims, with more than 800 people injured. This is truly a national catastrophe.
Whoever is behind this tragedy, whether it be the terrorists and extremists who want to prevent Iraqi citizens from practising their religious ritual or those simply wanting to spread fear and chaos, the Iraqi state must assure Iraqis that such disasters cannot happen again.
The IFTU sends its condolences to the people of Iraq and the families who have lost loved ones.
The IFTU Executive Committee,
31 August 2005
