NCCAR Condemns Escalating Violence in Iraq 

Ottawa, September 15, 2005 – The National Council on Canada-Arab Relations (NCCAR) condemns the escalating violence against innocent Iraqi people, in particular the barbaric attacks that took place yesterday in Baghdad.

“We call on all governments and people to reject the escalating violence in Iraq and condemn calls from fanatics intent on sparking hatred and further destruction,” said NCCAR President Hussein Amery. “These latest attacks are nothing more than mass murder and serve as a reminder that these killers are only concerned with the destruction of Iraqi society.”

NCCAR calls on Canada to increase its humanitarian efforts to help Iraqis in their time of need.
