SULAIMANI — Iraqi Parliament Speaker
Mohammed al-Halbousi responded to the rocket attack on Baghdad’s airport on
Friday (January 28) morning, calling it a "threat to Iraq’s reputation.”
"The targeting of Baghdad International
Airport represents a direct targeting of the sovereignty of the state and its
facilities,” Halbousi said in a statement on Friday. "Serious work must be done
to stop these terrorist practices.”
Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi
expressed similar sentiments, calling the attack "an attempt to undermine Iraq’s
reputation.”
"Targeting the airport reveals the criminals’
insistence on striking the security of the people of Iraq, their obligations
and their capabilities, and endangering their interests,” Kadhimi said in a
statement.
Six missiles were fired at Baghdad
International Airport and Camp Victory military base came under drone attack on
Friday.
A civilian plane that was no longer in
use was badly damaged in the attack.
Security Media Cell said three missiles
were discovered in a launch pad in Abu Ghraib district, adding security forces
were able to uncover important leads to track down the perpetrators.
