TEHRAN (Tasnim) � Iran�s Foreign Ministry on Thursday strongly condemned deadly twin bombings that rocked Syria�s central city of Homs, killing at least 45 people, most of them children.
 

Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marziyeh Afkham condemned what she called �anti-human crime� that has targeted innocent children.




She also offered Iran�s condolences to the Syrian government and nation and the bereaved families of the victims.

Meanwhile, the spokeswoman deplored the United Nations� inaction to bring those behind such such crimes in Syria to justice. Afkham called on the self-proclaimed supporters of counter-terrorism to stop arming and sponsoring terrorists instead of making a show of fighting terrorism.

�The move is among hundreds of crimes the terrorist groups have been committing against Syrian people, particularly against women and children, with the foreign backing during the past 4 years of in Syria,� she added.

Those who take a hand in committing the crimes, Afkham noted, are today under the guise of a �counter-terrorism coalition�.

The deadly blasts took place outside a primary school in Homs on Wednesday. A Syrian channel broadcast a brief footage of the aftermath, showing parents looking for their children amid schoolbags and bloodstains on the ground. Flames rose from a car nearby.

Homs governor Talal Barazzi described the attack as a "terrorist act and a desperate attempt that targeted school children".
