UN Secretary-General Ban Ki- moon condemned the deadly bombing in Iran, UN spokesperson Michele Montas said on Wednesday.

In a statement released by his spokesperson, Ban condemned the terrorist attack on a bus in the southeastern city of Zahedan carrying Iranian security officers, which killed at least 18 people and wounded many more.

"He reiterates that no cause can justify the use of terrorist violence," Montas told reporters at the UN headquarters in New York.

According to the latest report, 11 people were killed in the car bomb explosion instead of earlier reported 18 people. However, there was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.
