Hungary condemns in the strongest terms the terrorist attacks committed over the weekend in Dhaka and Baghdad.

The heinous attack on Friday and Saturday in Dhaka claimed the lives of twenty hostages, most of them foreigners and two law enforcement officers. The horrible attacks, committed just the next day, early Sunday morning in Baghdad, claimed more than 80 lives, including women and children. The brutal attacks near the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan are clear proof that extremism and terrorism have no respect for any religion.
