IRNA

Tehran, Nov 9, IRNA -- Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi on Sunday 
strongly condemned the terrorist attack against a residential compound
in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. 
Three explosions rocked al-Muhaya residential compound in Riyadh 
Saturday night killing at least five people and wounding more than 80 
most of them children and women. A three-year old girl is among the 
dead. 
"Killing of innocent women and children in the fasting month of 
Ramadan runs counter to the Islamic values and the human ethics," he 
said. 
He called for the serious and collective steps to fight 
terrorism. 
Kharrazi extended sympathy with the Saudi government and nation 
and the families of victims of the bomb blast. 
He called for intensive efforts of the international community 
to combat terrorism. 
The Saudi government said that gunmen broke into the residential 
compound of about 200 houses and exchanged fire with security guards. 
They blew up explosive-laden vehicle. 
Four residential buildings were reduced completely to rubble.
