A U.N. committee meeting here has unanimously adopted a resolution condemning international acts of terrorism, including the recent bombings of Jewish and Israeli buildings in Buenos Aires and London.

The resolution, adopted by the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, expressed grave concern about terrorist acts occurring around the world that target certain racial, ethnic or national groups.

In particular, the committee condemned the terrorist bombing of the Jewish headquarters in Buenos Aires on July 18 that left 99 dead and more than 200 wounded, as well as two separate bomb attacks in London that targeted the Israeli Embassy on July 26 and the Joint Israel Appeal the next day.

The committee also called for increased international cooperation to prevent and combat terrorism.
