Turkey: Assassination attempt on Kadhimi aims to undermine stability of Iraq

“We condemn the terrorist attack perpetrated early morning today against the residence of Iraq’s Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi in the strongest terms,” the Ministry said. “We hope that the perpetrators of this cowardly terror attack, which clearly aims to undermine the sovereignty and stability of Iraq, would be identified and held accountable before law as soon as possible.”

The Ministry also reiterated Turkey’s support for the Iraqi people and state in their fight against terrorism.

Early on Sunday, Iraq’s Prime Minister Mustafa Kadhimi survived an assassination attempt via an explosive drone that targeted his residence in Baghdad's heavily fortified Green Zone district. (ILKHA)
