Probe in drone attack on Iraq PM yet to identify attackers

Baghdad, Iraq – An investigation committee probing the drone attack on Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi earlier this month has felt short on identifying the attackers but released a video footage detailing the events. On Monday, almost three weeks into the investigation, national security adviser Qasim al-Araji said in a news conference that the committee has not accused any specific person or entity but called for collaboration among different parties to further the investigation. According to al-Araji, apart from the drone that caused damage at the prime minister's residence, there was also an unexploded projectile with fingerprints on it but the bomb squad detonated it without collecting the fingerprints. "We have launched an investigation into this matter and are asking for justification on the decision to not collect fingerprints," said al-Araji, adding that both drones were "locally made". No group has claimed responsibility for the attack.
