Iran's Top Leader Calls Paris Attacks 'Blind Terrorism'
  • 8 years ago
Iran's official news agency is quoting the country's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, as calling the recent Paris attacks "blind terrorism." The comments, reported by the IRNA news agency Sunday, were Khamenei's first reaction to the attacks, in which extremist jihadists killed 130 people and injured scores of others. Khamenei said "the bitter events brought about by blind terrorism in France" moved him to issue the statement. He said he has also been "disturbed" by bloodshed between Israel and the Palestinians and as well as violence by the Islamic State group in Iraq, Syria and Lebanon.
