She stressed \"these attacks, especially an attack inside a place of worship, are detestable and disgraceful and expose the nature of those perpetuating these attacks.\" Psaki affirmed that \"the terrorists who committed those attacks are a shared enemy of the United States, Iraq and the international community. \"We stand with the Iraqi people against this violence and in our commitment to support efforts to bring those responsible for these attacks to justice,\" she remarked.
