UNITED NATIONS, Jan. 15 (Xinhua) -- UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres condemned "in the strongest terms" Monday's twin terrorist attacks in the Iraqi capital of Baghdad, said his spokesman Stephane Dujarric.

Guterres expressed his deepest sympathies to the families of the victims and wished a speedy recovery to those injured, said the spokesman.

"The secretary-general reiterates that the United Nations will continue to stand by the government and people of Iraq in their efforts to fight terrorism and rebuild their country."

Two suicide bombings within minutes rocked an open-air market in Baghdad, killing more than two dozen people early Monday morning.
