In a vis-à-vis: Iraqi Prime Minister's statement after the assassination attempt (Photo: Reuters)

At least one pro-Iranian Shiite militia was involved in the assassination attempt by Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Khazimi, Iraqi security sources and sources close to the militias said today (Monday), a day after the attack that significantly escalated tensions in the country.

Sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity told Reuters news agency, said that the drones and explosives used in the attack were made in Iran. Al-azimuth not emerged unscathed, but some of his bodyguards were wounded.



Tehran has not yet responded to these allegations, but yesterday it condemned the attack Al-Qazimi's residence in Baghdad, hinting at the involvement of foreign elements.Also militiamen, who were hit hard in last month's parliamentary elections and do not recognize the results, have shied away from the assassination attempt that has garnered wall-to-wall condemnation around the world.



At the same time, the Lebanese al-Mayadin network, which is close to Iran, reported that the commander of the Quds Force in the Revolutionary Guards, Ismail Kani, arrived in Baghdad yesterday following recent events.

Kani was also reported to have met with al-Qazimi and other Iraqi officials, stressing the need for "stability in Iraq and maintaining national unity."

In addition, it was reported that he stressed the need to "refrain from any action that threatens Iraq's security."



Kanye replaced Qassem Suleimani, who was assassinated in Baghdad by a U.S. drone in January last year. However, in contrast, his influence on Shiite militias in Iraq is less.
