Foreign Ministry spokesman Hamid-Reza Asefi Sunday said that like the people of Iraq, Iranians are also glad that al-Qaeda leader in Iraq, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, has been killed.
Speaking to the media in his weekly press conference, he said that Iran condemns terrorism anywhere in the world, particularly in Iraq, irrespective of whether the victims are Shiites or Sunnis, given that there is no good and bad terrorism.
The spokesman underlined that killing Iraqi people is unacceptable to any kind of reasoning.
Turning to the joy of the Iraqi people over the death of al-Zarqawi, he said that it proves he was despised by Iraqis because of his violence, adding that Iranians are equally glad.
"Of course, this does not mean that Iran has been cooperating with America or any institution to locate al-Zarqawi. Neither did Iran communicate with Iraq in this respect," he added.
He referred to the claim on providing intelligence by Iran mainly to target al-Zarqawi as a plot by the media with a certain objective and said that Iran has not cooperated with America in this respect.
