China said Tuesday it was shocked by the latest car bombings in Iraq.

"China opposes terrorism in any form, and hopes that Iraq will realize national security, stability and development at an early date," Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ma Zhaoxu said in a press release.

Two car bombs coordinately exploded in downtown Baghdad Sunday, killing at least 132 people and leaving over 500 others wounded.

The bombings caused damages to the Chinese embassy in Iraq, smashing doors and windows. Two Chinese nationals working in Al Mansour Hotel were injured.

"We have asked the Chinese embassy, institutions and nationals to stay alert and take safety measures against such attacks." Ma said.
