The Minister of Interior of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) confirmed that some people had infiltrated the Kurdistan Region and carried out the missile attacks that targeted Erbil airport and a number of neighborhoods recently.

 

Rebar Ahmed, Minister of Interior, said during a press conference: "Unfortunately, some people have benefited from the good treatment of the employees at the checkpoints for the brothers coming from other governorates to the Kurdistan Region."

 

He added: "Those infiltrated into the governorate of Erbil and carried out that crime that targeted some neighborhoods and Erbil airport, and led to the death and injury of a number of citizens."

 

He pointed out: "This incident proves the need for cooperation between the Kurdistan Regional Government, the Federal Government, and the International Coalition to confront groups outside the law."

 

He explained: "A joint investigation has been formed between the Kurdistan Regional Government and the Federal Government and the Joint Committee has conducted many meetings and follow-ups. We are awaiting the results of their investigations to announce the identity of preparators of this crime, arrest them, and turn them to the  judiciary to receive their fair penalty."

 

Last week, 14 rockets were fired at the Erbil International Airport and surrounding residential neighborhoods which resulted in the killing of a contractor working with the US-led International Coalition and 9 people were injured ( 8 CIV contractors/ 1 US MIL).
