Saudi Arabia strongly condemned on Monday the bombing of a ballot box storage site in the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk on Sunday.

The Kingdom renewed its solidarity with Iraq against terrorism and extremism, said an official source from the Foreign Ministry according to the Saudi Press Agency.

One person was killed in Sunday’s suicide attack, which took place two days before a manual recount of the parliamentary elections ballots was due to begin.

Another 20 people were wounded in the explosion.
