UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon described as "cowardly acts of violence" the two car bomb attacks in Lebanon a day ago, which killed at least 27 people.
Ban strongly condemned the attacks targeting two mosques in the north Lebanese port city of Tripoli, Xinhua reported.
Ban said he "extends his condolences to the families of those killed and to the Government of Lebanon, and his sympathies to all those injured," a statement issued by Ban's spokesman said.
At least 27 were killed and 358 injured in the deadly attacks, Lebanon's Health Minister Ali Hassan Khalil has said.
