Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazimi: I know who tried to kill me
Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazimi commented on the attempt on himself. This is reported by RIA Novosti.
According to him, he knows who tried to kill him using a drone with explosives directed at the residence. The prime minister noted that those who committed this crime will be prosecuted and exposed. He also stressed that the assassins of the officer of the Iraqi National Intelligence Service, Colonel Nebras Farman, who was injured in the attack, will be held accountable for their actions.
Earlier, the Iraqi Interior Ministry called the attempted assassination of Mustafa al-Kazimi a terrorist act. The representative of the department emphasized that the attack was carried out using three unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), two of which were shot down. At the same time, the third drone hit al-Kazimi's house – as a result, several of the prime minister's security officers were injured.
On the night of November 7, Al Arabiya TV channel reported that the Iraqi prime minister was hospitalized after a drone attack on his residence in Baghdad. The politician was taken to the hospital with minor injuries, but later he said that “everything is in order.” The United States called the incident an “obvious terrorist act” and offered Iraqi assistance in investigating the assassination attempt.
