伊拉克官員爆炸襲擊事件後辭職大綱

Iraq's interior minister has offered to resign, part of the political fallout from Sunday's devastating attack in Baghdad.

Mohammed Ghabban Tuesday handed over authority to his deputy until the offer is considered by Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, himself the target of public rage after a suicide truck bombing killed at least 175 people.

Islamic State militants claimed responsibility for the bombing, saying they were targeting Shi'ites.

The attack came near the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, a time when U.N. envoy for Iraq Jan Kubis had hoped there would be a lull in violence. U.N. Human Rights High Commissioner Zeid Ra'ad Al Hussein also deplored the loss of innocent lives and condemned, what he called, this latest "horrendous atrocity" by the extremist Sunni group Islamic State.巴格達星期天發生的重大襲擊事件引起政治效應，伊拉克內政部長提出辭職。

穆罕默德∙哈班星期二把權力移交給內政部副部長，等待伊拉克總理阿巴迪考慮他的辭呈。這次卡車自殺炸彈襲擊造成至少175人喪生，公衆的憤怒直指阿巴迪本人。

伊斯蘭國激進分子對這次炸彈襲擊承擔責任，說他們的襲擊目標是什葉派穆斯林。

這次襲擊正值穆斯林齋月進入尾聲，聯合國的伊拉克事務特使庫比什原本希望在這段時間裏暴力事件會暫時停頓。聯合國人權事務高級專員扎伊德∙拉阿德∙侯賽因也對無辜者被害表示痛惜，譴責遜尼派極端組織伊斯蘭國的行爲是“可怕的暴行“。
