WASHINGTON, Feb 3 (Reuters) - The White House on Saturday called the suicide bombing in Baghdad that killed 135 people an "atrocity" and pledged to help the Iraqi government bring security to the capital.

"The United States stands with the people of Iraq. We will support the freely elected Iraqi government and its security forces, to help bring those responsible for today's atrocity to justice, and to deliver greater security to the people of Baghdad," White House press secretary Tony Snow said in a statement.
