BAGHDAD – Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi was unharmed in an assassination attempt carried out by a drone targeting his official residence on Sunday (Nov. 7), his office said in a statement.
“A drone tried to target the residence” in Baghdad’s fortified Green Zone, and the prime minister was not injured, the statement said.
Shortly after the attack, al-Kadhimi said on Twitter that he was “fine” and called for “calm and restraint from everyone for the sake of Iraq.”
