“I condemn and denounce the failed attempt to assassinate Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi, which took place through an attack targeting his residence in Baghdad at dawn today,” Barzani said.

“This terrorist act is a dangerous development that threatens security and stability in the country and portends dire consequences,” Barzani added.

He also called on all sides to exercise restraint and calm down.

ادين واستنكر المحاولة الفاشلة لاغتيال رئيس الوزراء السيد مصطفى الكاظمي التي جرت عن طريق مسيرة استهدفت محل اقامته في بغداد فجر اليوم والحمد لله على سلامته. هذا العمل الارهابي تطور خطير يهدد الامن والاستقرار في البلاد وينذر بعواقب وخيمة. أدعو الجميع الى ضبط النفس والتهدئة.
