Iraqi parliament speaker denounces Friday attack in Baghdad

<p style="text-align: left;">Speaker of the Council of Representative Mohammed al-Halbusi condemned on Friday, January 3, a US air strike in Baghdad that martyred Iran&amp;rsquo;s most powerful general and a top Iraqi Shia militia commander as a breach of sovereignty.

&ldquo;Yesterday&rsquo;s targeting of a military commander in Iraq&rsquo;s armed forces near Baghdad international airport is a flagrant breach of sovereignty and violation of international agreements,&rdquo; he said in a statement, according to Reuters.
&ldquo;Iraq must avoid becoming a battlefield or a side in any regional or international conflict,&rdquo; he added. Halbusi, who as speaker is Iraq&rsquo;s top Sunni Arab politician, called on the government to take all steps needed to stop such attacks.
