With this statement, Baghdad has officially called the US coalition responsible for the attack on Al-Hashd al-Shaabi forces; Although, until this moment, America or the coalition under the command of this country have not officially taken responsibility for this attack.
While quoting this statement, Baghdad Al-Yum news station reported that Iraq warned against the continuation of tension in the region; Because this issue can destroy peace and stability, and for this reason, he is looking for dialogue and finding ways to reduce tension between all parties.
In the end, Abdul Latif Rashid’s office prayed for forgiveness and mercy for all the martyrs of Al-Hashd al-Shaabi.
Rasool also said in this context: “The Iraqi armed forces consider the forces of the international coalition responsible for this unexpected attack on an Iraqi security institution. An institution that operates based on the powers granted to it by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces. This action undermines all understandings between the armed forces and the forces of the international coalition.
Informed sources announced earlier that in today’s attack on the headquarters of the 12th Brigade of Al-Hashd al-Shaabi in Baghdad, Al-Hajj Abu Taqvi Al-Saeidi, the deputy commander of Hizam Baghdad operations, and his assistant were martyred and 6 others were injured.
The spokesman of the General Command of the Iraqi Armed Forces added: We consider this action to be an escalation of tension and a dangerous attack on Iraq, which is far from the spirit and text of the order and work for which the international coalition is present in Iraq.
Iraqi sources say that the car of Martyr Abu Taqvi was targeted as soon as it reached the said headquarters. Four missiles were fired from the attacker’s drone, one of which hit the car of martyr Abu Taqawi. Some sources have also announced the number of martyrs up to four people.
