Biden condemned what he called a “terrorist attack” against Al Kazemi and said he was “relieved” that he was unharmed in the attack.
US President Joe Biden condemned the attack on Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al Kazemi on Sunday and offered Washington’s help to assist Iraqi security forces as they try to identify those responsible.
In a statement, Biden condemned what he considered a “terrorist attack” against Al Kazemi and said he was “relieved” that he came out unharmed from the attack with a drone bomb directed early this Sunday against his residence in central Baghdad.
“The perpetrators of this terrorist attack against the Iraqi state must be held accountable. I condemn in the strongest terms those who use violence to undermine the democratic process in Iraq,” Biden said.
In addition, he announced that he has already instructed his national security team to give “all” necessary assistance to the Iraqi security forces while they investigate this attack and identify those responsible.
The attack against Al Kazemi comes at a time of tension in Iraq after the violent clashes between protesters and police during a demonstration last Friday in Baghdad, in front of the Green Zone itself, against the results of the legislative elections of October 10. .
The clashes left two people dead and more than a hundred wounded, many of them policemen, which provoked an angry condemnation from the leaders of the pro-Iranian militias in Iraq, who in the last elections lost almost two-thirds of their seats and reject the results. . (I)
