Malaysia’s MAPIM President Urges Bringing Perpetrates of Shiraz Terrorist Attack to Justice

TEHRAN (IQNA) – The president of the Malaysian Consultative Council of Islamic Organizations (MAPIM) condemned a recent terrorist attack that killed and injured scores of pilgrims in Iran’s southern city of Shiraz.

Muhammad Azmi Abdulhamid in a statement called for bringing to justice those behind the heinous attack and expressed condolences to the Iranian officials and people and families of the victims.

He said the West and its cohorts were to blame for such brutal crimes that are aimed at weakening the Islamic Republic of Iran.

The enemies do not want to see a strong, united and independent Iran in the region and seek to destabilize and split up the country, he stated,

Abdulhamid underlined the need for vigilance, resistance, and unity among Iranians in the face of plots hatched by Islam’s enemies.

He also called on the world Muslims to support the Islamic Iran against the conspiracies of the West.

An armed terrorist stormed Shah Cheragh -- a sacred and popular Shia shrine in Shiraz – on Wednesday evening.

The terrorist started shooting indiscriminately at pilgrims. Scores were martyred and injured during the assault.

The Daesh (ISIL or ISIS) terrorist group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
