Baghdad Operations Command announced, on Tuesday, that it will display confessions of a second group of Iraqi Vice-President Tarek Al Hashemi’s bodyguards within 72 hours of the statement. Initial confessions involve 3 accused including an Iraqi Interior Ministry Brigadier, the command revealed.
“Important confessions of a second group of Hashemi’s bodyguards will be displayed within 72 hours,” spokesman of Baghdad Operations Command Brigadier General Qassim Atta told a statement reported by an Iraqi television channel. “Initial confessions involve 3 accused including an Iraqi Interior Ministry Brigadier,” Atta indicated.
Interior Ministry displayed, on December 19, confessions of Hashemi’s bodyguards assuring that he personally charged them to execute violent actions. Based on these confessions, Higher Judicial Council issued an arrest warrant for Iraqi Vice-President Tarek Al Hashemi who is now present in Kurdistan Region. Iraqi President Jalal Talabani, for his part, assured on December 24 that he is receiving Hashemi who is ready to appear before judiciary anytime and anywhere in Iraq.
Hashemi called for the transfer of his case to Kirkuk or Kanaqin after Higher Judicial Council of Iraq refused its transfer to Kurdistan Region. Higher Judicial Council of Iraq denied, for its part, having approved to transfer Iraqi Vice-President Tarek Al Hashemi’s case to Kirkuk. Hashemi’s case will remain in Baghdad, Higher Judicial Council announced noting that it will be examined by a judicial body of nine judges.
State of Law Coalition headed by Prime Minister Nuri Al Maliki assured, on December 30, that accusations against Hashemi are purely judiciary. Such cases can’t be transferred upon suspect’s demands, State of Law advanced arguing that the only authority competent to choose court’s location is the tribunal. “Court should take place where crimes and confessions occurred,” the coalition concluded, a source told Alsumaria.
