Baghdad - conscious

Today, Sunday, the Presidency of the Republic condemned the missile strikes that targeted the Green Zone in central Baghdad.

The presidency stated, in a statement received by the Iraqi News Agency (INA), that it "condemns the terrorist act that targeted the Green Zone this evening, Sunday 20 December 2020," indicating that "the continuation of these criminal acts leads first to endangering the security and lives of innocent citizens and their property to danger.

She added, "We urge the security forces to pursue criminal gangs outside the law, bring them to justice, and not allow these incidents to recur in order to protect the supreme interest of the country and ensure the security and stability of citizens."
