TEHRAN (Tasnim) � Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman deplored the terrorist attack on Pakistan's biggest airport in Karachi, in which at least 39 people were killed.



�Marziyeh Afkham also expressed the Iranian nation's and government's sympathy and condolences to the families of the victims.


Late Sunday night, 10 militants stormed Karachi airport's cargo area in a siege that left dozens dead.

Pro-Taliban militants claimed responsibility for the deadly assault. They said the attack was retaliation for the death of former chief Hakimullah Mehsud, who was killed in a U.S. drone strike in November in North Waziristan.
