almotamar.net - The UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has strongly condemned the Tuesday bomb attacks in Radaa city in Bayda province, which killed more than 25 people, including at least 15 schoolgirls.

"There is absolutely no justification for such cowardly terrorist acts that brutally take the lives of innocent civilians, including children", said a statement read by Spokesman for UN Secretary-General.

The statement called for the perpetrators to be brought to justice.

In the statement , the UN Secretary-General expressed his sympathies and sincere condolences to the families of the victims of these heinous attacks.

The statement referred that the Security Council members have condemned in the strongest terms these terrorist attacks and the violations and abuses committed against children by terrorists in Yemen, as well as the high frequency of the attacks carried out or sponsored by Al Qaeda in Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).

The statement recalled that AQAP is included on the Al-Qaida Sanctions List and is thus subject to the asset freeze and arms embargo in resolution 2161 (2014).

The UN Secretary-General reiterated that any individual or entity that provides financial or material support to the terrorists, including the provision of arms or recruits, is eligible to be added to the Al-Qaida Sanctions List and subject to sanctions measures.
