Condemning the deadly bomb blasts in Baghdad killing 80 people, Congress Chief Sonia Gandhi on Sunday stated that the past week, which also included the attack in Dhaka, had been terrible for the entire humanity.

In a statement released today, Sonia expressed her deepest condolences to family of those killed

"Smt. Gandhi called for the globe to unite, fight and defeat forces of terror and extremism that pose a serious threat to world peace and humanity," the statement added.

Earlier today, the ISIS claimed responsibility for the two car bombs exploding in Baghdad, which killed almost 80 people.

The attack comes in the wake of the deadly attack by terrorists at Holey Artisan- an upscale cafe in Dhaka's diplomatic zone, which resulted in the death of 20 people, including one Indian.
