Iraqi students read text on a banner expressing condolences for the shooting victims of Virginia Tech, USA, on the fence of the Baghdad Technology University, Iraq, Tuesday. Universities and academics in Baghdad have been among the hardest hit by the violence plaguing Iraq, but students on one campus still found themselves saddened by last week's massacre at Virginia Tech and hung up a banner to express their condolences. The banner text reads: The Council of Students Union in University of Technology, and the students, condemn the recent criminal act in the Technological Sciences University in Virginia, which murdered a number of students. This is an act we reject as it is a violation of the sanctity of universities throughout the world as a whole. We convey our warmest condolences to the families of the victims who are suffering the same as those of Iraqi universities now. (AP Photo/Hadi Mizban) Hadi Mizban
