Iraqi PM says he knows who is behind ‘assassination attempt’

“We will chase down those who committed yesterday’s crime. We know them well and we will expose them.” Al-Kadhimi said in a statement from his office on Sunday, as quoted by Reuters.

The prime minister stopped short of revealing the identities of the alleged perpetrators.

Three drones were reportedly used in an attack on al-Kadhimi’s residence in Baghdad’s Green Zone early Sunday morning local time. Iraq’s Security Media Cell Claimed drones were “Booby Trapped” And two drones were reportedly shot down, while one reached and damaged the prime minister’s residence, reportedly injuring members of his security detail.

Al-Kadhimi was not hurt in the incident, and he issued a statement shortly after, which said “Calm and restraint from all” For “For Iraq’s sake.”

This was reported after the chaotic protests in Baghdad on Friday. Protesters protested the October parliamentary election results, which saw heavy losses for pro-Iranian Shia parties, and called for several alleged voter fraud and recounts. More than 100 people were injured when protesters clashed with police and tried to storm the Green Zone. Several protesters were reportedly killed in the unrest. Al-Kadhimi ordered an investigation into the violence.

The US government has offered to help investigate the alleged attack on the prime minister’s residence, and “stern condemnation” NS “Clear Acts of Terrorism.” Iran has claimed “Foreign Think Tank” The attack may have been plotted to destabilize the already fragile situation in the country.
