    Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi confirmed on Wednesday, that the absurd behavior of targeting Iraqi camps disturbs security, noting that the Iraqis who spent years in prison are due to malicious charges.
     
    "I had a meeting with an Iraqi woman from Tal Afar, who is the mother of seven martyrs, and relatives of other martyrs who died during the time of the former regime, and also after 2003 by terrorism and Daesh terrorist gangs,” said Al-Kadhimi in a speech during the cabinet session, followed by the Iraqi News Agency (INA).
     
    He noted that "we must stop at these stories for the families of the victims, which involve a lot of pain and patience,"
     
    "The combat role of the US and the international coalition forces in Iraq has ended, as all the camps have been received by the Iraqi forces," noting that "currently there are a number of advisers working alongside the security forces," asserted Al-Kadhimi.
     
    He explained, "There are some absurd behaviors along with the first days of the New Year, several missiles were launched targeting Iraqi camps, and this certainly disturbs security and stability,"
     
    "The Iraqis spent years in prison, because of malicious accusations. I visited a number of them, and I saw many of these cases," he added.
     
    PM Al-Kadhimi indicated that "he will visit the President of the Supreme Judicial Council, to coordinate the formation of a committee to look into some cases suspected of malicious charges,"
     
    Regarding the Jibla crime, he stressed that "what happened in the Jibla district, Babylon is unfortunate and sad that Iraqis were killed in cold blood at the hands of weak souls intruding on the morals and principles of our security forces, and this is what prompted us to stress strongly the need to reconsider the security assessment of some security elements."
     
    "We directed the National Security to supervise and stand up to Jibla crime, in which an entire family was killed due to a family dispute and the exploitation of Article (4) of the Counter-Terrorism Law,"
     
    Al-Kadhimi concluded his speech by saying, "We are the victims of the unjust dictator, and it is unreasonable to continue with injustice while we live in the era of democracy,"
