TEHRAN - Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qassemi on Wednesday condemned a terrorist attack in New York which left eight people killed.

“Killing innocent people in the streets and public places shows the extent of brutality of terrorist groups such as Daesh who are not committed to any human and moral principles,” Qassemi lamented.

He added a serious campaign is needed by all countries to eradicate terrorism.

A 29-year-old man drove a truck into a Manhattan crowd on Tuesday, killing eight and wounding almost a dozen.
