CAIRO, July 31 (Xinhua) -- Arab Parliament Speaker Mashaal al-Salami on Monday strongly condemned the attack against the Iraqi Embassy in Kabul, which was carried out by Islamic State (IS) terror group.

Al-Salmi affirmed in a press statement Parliament's full support for the Iraqi government, adding that such attack came after the victories achieved by the Iraqi army against IS group in Iraq.

The terrorist attack will not discourage Iraq in its fight against terrorism, urging the international community to intensify efforts to fight terrorism.

The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
