United Nations, Aug 21: The Security Council said it remained committed to help Iraqis rebuild their nation despite a suicide bombing at UN headquarters in Baghdad that killed at least 20 people. The 15-nation Council ''reaffirms its determination to assist the Iraqi people to build peace and justice in their country and to determine their own political future by themselves,'' the Council said in a statement read by Syrian ambassador Mikhail Wehbe, the Council president for August.
''It welcomes in this regard the determination of the United Nations to continue its operations in Iraq to fulfill its mandate in the service of the Iraqi people, and will not be intimidated by such attacks,'' the Council statement said.
