Iraq prime minister survives 'explosives-laden drone' assassination attempt

Iraq's Prime Minister Mustafa al Kadhimi escaped unhurt after an attempted assassination attempt by a drone armed with explosives, state-run media reports.

Iraq's prime minister has survived an attempted assassination by a drone armed with explosives.

The government said the drone targeted Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al Kadhimi's home in Baghdad's Green Zone early on Sunday.


Shortly after the attack, the prime minister tweeted: "The rockets of treason will not shake one bit of the steadfastness and determination of the heroic security forces."

"I am fine and among my people. Thank God," he added.


Seven of his security guards were injured in the attack, two Iraqi officials told The Associated Press.


The prime minister's official Twitter account said he was safe and called for calm


A government statement released by the state-run media said the assassination attempt was with "an explosives-laden drone that tried to target his residence in the Green Zone".

It added that Mr al Kadhimi was "unharmed and in good health".

"The security forces are taking the necessary measures in connection with this failed attempt," it said.

The US State Department described the attack as an "apparent act of terrorism".

Spokesperson Ned Price said: "We are following the reported drone attack targeting the residence of Iraqi Prime Minister Kadhimi.

"We are relieved to learn the Prime Minister was unharmed.

"This apparent act of terrorism, which we strongly condemn, was directed at the heart of the Iraqi state. We are in close touch with the Iraqi security forces charged with upholding Iraq's sovereignty and independence and have offered our assistance as they investigate this attack.

"Our commitment to our Iraqi partners is unshakeable. The United States stands with the government and people of Iraq."

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.

It comes after violent protests in Baghdad over the result of a general election last month.

Heavily-armed militias, backed by Iran, lost much of their parliamentary power in the 10 October election and have alleged voting and vote-counting irregularities.

Assassination of this guy will surely throw Iraq into an endless unrest. He maybe an American aligned politician but Assassinating him will destabilize Iraq and the only ones enjoying this show would be USA and its terrorist allies.


So far, USA has proved us already, a safe Iraq, is a major hurdle in the way of destabilizing Middle East.

Iran is really getting desperate after their armed militias loosing elections in Iraq. Just few days back Pro Irani militias threatened to attack Green zone and PM of Iraq so pretty clear who is behind it.

This Iraqi PM has said and done a few things lately which were against US/Western interests. Everyone can fill the dots.

 

[Muhammed45]

Btw, the question remains, what was Kadhimi doing in American terrorists' camp?

Obviously, turning his back on Iraqi people and ignoring will of Iraqi people would cost him a lot. Green zone means American base and residence inside an American base is not a only a treason to his people siding with invading forces but also a threat to Kadhimi himself.

Americans can Stage an attack on him inside green zone and then blame it on other Iraqis hence making chaos in Iraq.

Ashraf Ghani knows better than anyone else USA can sacrifice its lackies whenever it suits them.

Iran is really getting desperate after their armed militias loosing elections in Iraq. Just few days back Pro Irani militias threatened to attack Green zone and PM of Iraq so pretty clear who is behind it.

Our leadership is not brain less emotionals, there is no benefit in Assassinating this guy.

It is Obviously an American plan,

It is always good to see that there are some intelligent comments here than Iran obsessed brats ranting nonsense. You are correct, Kadhimi is very close to Iran and spent substantial time there and his family members still live there. He was also was the first leader to visit the new President Raisi. So only a complete moron would think that it has anything to do with Iran.

This "assassination attempt" if factual is result of on-going power struggles internally as the unstable Moqtada Sadr's block won a large number of seats and other factions are upset. However, let's not lose sight of the FACT that the US criminals destroyed Iraq and killed a million Iraqis and are stealing Iraqi oil to fund regional terrorism via ISIS and alCIAda. US war criminals totally destabilizing the once middle income country and committed the worst crimes against humanity at Abu Gharaib. If anything, it more than likely that the CIA is hell bent on keeping Iraq unstable as they continue to occupy the country. There is also a strong US and Zionist presence in Arbil, Iraqi Kurdistan. Iran is the only stabilizing power in Iraq and the region and a major supplier of Iraqi electricity and consumer needs.

That is exactly the TRUTH. The US criminals are stealing Iraq blind and want a weak subservient government. Kadhimi is close to Iran and wants a stable country. However, corruption and destroyed infrastructure is also causing domestic unrest.

It is really not because of that but the reason being is that Iran feels cheated on in Iraq. They got to complacent in Iraq not knowing how treacherous Iraq really is historically this was famously known and the Iraqis were renowned on their betrayals and treacherous nature which is quite unique thing to be famous and known for but that is Iraq for you hence Iran was politically pushed out of Iraq and tricked into non-influence by electing and trasnfering the power to a government that has zero to do with Iran this is where the beef comes from and suddenly realizing they are pushed out one way or another. The attack came after they lost their patience and cool they deemed the level of treachery to be great

Kadhimi is an American stooge. There is no doubt in that.

American problem is the parliament of Iraq. The Patriot MPs voted for a Bill which asked Americans to immediately leave Iraq. USA has a Long term plan for Iraqi parliament, Americans want to plant puppets inside the parliament and hence gain the majority in their own favor. It is possible only through a major interference in Iraqi elections.

This attack came right after demonstration of Iraqis accusing Kadhimi of conducting a major fraud in elections in favor of Pro American candidates. This attack first of all sidelines people of Iraq and their demonstration and also provides the minority of Pro American forces inside Iraq to accuse the resistance axis of staging an attack on Kadhimi. Two goals with 1 shot

Zionists and western media were too quick to point at Iraqi groups, you need to look for Truth in Iraqi elections.

You are exactly repeating reports of Haaretz. Are you receiving your salary in Shekels?

Not exactly bro just saying how it is.. The Iraqis are famously known for being treacherous and they are unconventional.. It is the snakes den to begin with. I wouldn't even be surprised if the Americans themselves get betrayed like after in a year or so.. It is Iraq's name of the game and to betray is Iraq's middle name nothing new here

 

[TNT]

This is another proof of iranian involvement in other country's affairs. The iranian alligned terrorists have been holding protests against result of elections where irais clearly rejected iranian stooges. Iran exports its terrorism in every country and now their own shia muslims have rejected their involvement. You will soon see syria kicking out iran.

Drone hits home of Iraqi PM in ‘failed assassination attempt’ amid election protests

 

[Trench Broom]

The diabolical terrorist state of Iran was not happy with recent election in Iraq.

This is their response.

Iran needs to be ground into dust. All of the region's countries need to combine and destroy the terrorist entity.

 

[retaxis]

the world outside of US really sees Iran as reactionary rather then instigator. They are reacting to being surrounded by US/Israel and allied Arabs etc and are fighting back. Its not like Iran wanted to pursue a fight against a huge number of opponents they are merely defending themselves from an onslaught by Western world + Sunni Arabs + Israel

 

[Dexon]

The Zionist axis killed thousands of Iraqis. And tortured them like Abu Ghraib sort of stuff.
Now they are worried about their pm Alright ...
