Minister Tobias Ellwood said:

I utterly condemn the shocking attack on a petrol station and restaurant at al-Hilla earlier today, for which Daesh has claimed responsibility. The UK continues to stand shoulder to shoulder with the government and people of Iraq in the fight against terrorism. Such an attack shows the desperation of Daesh as they see their so-called caliphate crumble around them.

My thoughts are with the family and friends of those who have been killed and injured in such a horrific act.
