Egyptian President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi condemned on Sunday the attempt on the life of Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi.
In a statement on Facebook, he slammed the “heinous assassination attempt,” urging calm and hoping that security and stability will be achieved in Iraq.
He called on all Iraqi forces and political powers to “shun violence and show solidarity” to protect the state and meet the aspirations of the Iraqi people.
A drone laden with explosives targeted Kadhimi’s residence in Baghdad early on Sunday. The PM escaped unhurt.
The attack, which security sources said injured several members of Kadhimi’s personal protection detail, came after protests in the Iraqi capital over the result of a general election last month turned violent.
