The UN Security Council denounced on Friday Aleppo's "terrorist" attacks which killed dozens of people and were claimed by Al-Nosra group, which is affiliated with Al-Qaeda.

A statement agreed by the 15-nation council condemned last week’s attacks "in the strongest terms" and expressed condolences to families of the victims "of these heinous acts."

"The members of the Security Council reaffirmed that terrorism in all its forms and manifestations constitutes one of the most serious threats to international peace and security, and that any acts of terrorism are criminal and unjustifiable, regardless of their motivation, wherever, whenever and by whomsoever committed," the statement said.

It said they "reiterated their determination to combat all forms of terrorism, in accordance with its responsibilities under the Charter of the United Nations."

Car bombs exploded on Wednesday near a military officer's club and outside a gate to Aleppo's Old City, killing dozens of people and wounding more than 100 in Syria's second largest city.

The city has been a focal point of bitter fighting between Syrian forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad and armed militants who have no political agenda as any peaceful opposition may have.

Jabhat Al-Nusra group claimed responsibility for the attacks.
