The Secretary-General of Iraq’s Asa’ib Ahl Al-Haq movement, Qais Khazali, warned on Sunday of “attempts” to accuse what he called “resistance factions” of trying to assassinate Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi. According to Khazali, such allegations are likely to drag the country into a major crisis.

In a televised address, he called on Iraq’s Supreme Shia cleric, Ali Al-Sistani, to intervene as the situation “has reached dangerous levels” in the country.
“The targeting of the prime minister’s house [on 7 November], if true, is serious and cannot be tolerated at all,” said Khazali, adding that Al-Kadhimi refused the participation of two “resistance factions” — militias — in the investigation into the attempted assassination. “We send a message to the committee charged with the investigation… You must provide concrete evidence and real proof, not allegations.”
Shia leader Muqtada Al-Sadr called on Friday for the results of the investigations to be revealed.
