Al-Sadr suggests a tripartite committee

Shafaq News / On Friday, the leader of the Sadrist movement, Muqtada al-Sadr proposed forming a tripartite committee to investigate the attacks targeting diplomatic missions, departments and institutions of the Iraqi state.

Al-Sadr said in a statement published today on Twitter, that "due to the security conditions that beset the present and future of the country and in the midst of security breaches that threaten the prestige of the Iraq, we find it necessary to form a committee from a Security, military, and parliamentary background to investigate the targeting of diplomatic missions and state offices."

He stressed that "the results of the investigation will be announced to the public within a specific time and the necessary legal measures should be taken regarding this," noting that "if this is not achieved, the government will be Underachievement to restore prestige and impose security."

On Wednesday, Al-Sadr criticized "some factions" followed to Al-Hashd, accusing them of being behind the assassinations and bombings that take place in Iraq, calling on Al-Hashd leaders to distance themselves from these actions.

For its part, Al-Fatah Alliance, led by Hadi Al-Amery issued a statement on Thursday declaring its rejection and condemnation of "any action targeting diplomatic missions," calling on "the judiciary and the security services to end the kidnappings, assassinations and inciting terror among people."

At the same time, Al-Hashd issued a statement denying its role in "any suspicious operations and illegal military activity targeting foreign or civilian interests."

It is noteworthy that this is the first time that Al-Hashd and Al-Fatah Alliance issued statements condemning the targeting of foreign missions in Iraq, which come after a year of escalation of missile attacks against the US- Embassy in Baghdad and some Iraqi camps that include US-soldiers.
