Tehran, IRNA - Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Shamkhani said that the roots of the attempt on Iraqi Prime Minister’s life should be sought in foreign think tanks.

The attempt on Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi's life "is a new sedition that must be traced back to foreign think tanks, which have brought nothing but insecurity, discord & instability to oppressed Iraqi people through creation & support of terrorist groups & occupation of this country for years," Shamkhani wrote in a tweet on Sunday.

Iraqi media reported yesterday that al-Kadhimi’s residence in Baghdad was attacked by an explosive-laden drone, but he has survived the attempt.
