The message of condolences runs as follows: "Nothing can justify such violence against people whose sole aim in going to Iraq was to help the state and people of Iraq during this difficult period of time. The UN is an organisation, which joins states and nations with the best intent and skill. Terrorist attacks against the UN are most regretful and undermine the security of each of us.
Please accept my sincere sympathy to the families of the casualties and you personally."
