The UN Secretary-General, António Guterres, unequivocally condemned the bloody terrorist attack carried out this Friday against a mosque in the city of Homs, Syria. The attack, which took place during the main prayers of the day, left at least eight people dead and numerous injured. Through his spokesperson, Stéphane Dujarric, the head of the international organization emphasized that attacks on civilians and places of worship are intolerable acts that violate the basic principles of humanity, according to the Argentine News Agency. Details of the attack in Homs: The target: The explosion occurred at the Ali Bin Abi Talib mosque, located in the populous Wadi al-Dahab neighborhood, a key meeting point for the local community. International justice: Guterres stressed the urgent need to identify those responsible for the attack and bring them to justice so that the crime does not go unpunished. Solidarity with the victims: The Secretary-General sent his condolences to the families of the deceased and wished a speedy recovery to the injured, in a context where Syria is trying to stabilize after years of internal conflict. This new episode of violence shakes the region at a time of fragile political transition, raising alarms once again about the persistence of terrorist cells in Syrian territory.
