 Bombing Baghdad". Khazali calls for official action towards UN Security Council

Shafaq News / The Secretary-General of Asaib Ahl al-Haq, Qais al-Khazali, on Thursday, that "denunciations and condemnations are no longer enough," in a comment on the assassination of Kataib Hezbollah leader "Abu Baqer" by US bombing yesterday in Baghdad.

Al-Khazali said in a tweet on the X website published at an advanced hour, that "the continued American attacks on Iraqi lives, and the violation of the sovereignty of our country, is evidence of the American disregard and disregard for the Iraqi government and people."

He added, "It is clear that it is not in the process of stopping this underestimation and recklessness, but rather it continues its attacks, despite the positive steps taken by the esteemed Iraqi government, and the commitment to calm by the honorable resistance factions."

"It is clear that denunciations and condemnations are no longer enough, which necessitates the need for Iraq to submit an official request to the UN Security Council, demanding the immediate withdrawal of foreign forces," he said.

Khazali also stressed that "Iraq should start implementing practical measures to strengthen its self-defense capabilities against any external aggression."

In this context, according to Khazali's tweet, "the support and solidarity of the Iraqi people becomes essential for the success of these decisive steps, towards restoring full sovereignty over Iraqi territory and airspace, and fortifying the national economy."

The Iraqi Security Media Cell held the United States of America and the international coalition responsible for the repercussions of the killing of "Abu Baqer" and his companions as a result of an aerial bombardment by a drone that targeted a wheel they were traveling in east of the capital, Baghdad.

Meanwhile, an authorized source in the cell said, "Those who targeted a wheel carrying two leaders of the Popular Mobilization Forces in the Mashtal area, east of the capital, Baghdad, are American drones that penetrated Iraqi airspace."

In turn, Kataib Hizbullah confirmed in a statement the death of Wissam Mohammed Saber (Abu Baqir al-Saadi) following the shelling of US forces in Baghdad.

On Wednesday, the US Central Command claimed responsibility for the attack that targeted Kataib Hezbollah leader Abu Baqir al-Saadi in the Mashtal area, east of Baghdad, and said he was responsible for attacks targeting its forces in the area.
