Al-Mashhadani pledged in his statement to “reveal the parties involved and bring them to justice,” calling on the government and relevant security authorities to “take the necessary investigative measures and form a committee to investigate this heinous crime, identify the perpetrators, and bring them to justice to receive their punishment,” according to Iraqi News Agency – “INA.”
Safaa Al-Mashhadani, a member of the Baghdad Provincial Council and a parliamentary election candidate for the “Sovereignty Alliance,” was killed early Wednesday morning in an explosion targeting his vehicle in the Tarmiyah area, north of the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.
It is noteworthy that this assassination is the first in the Iraqi parliamentary elections, which are scheduled to take place on November 11. The alliance is contesting the elections in several provinces, most notably Baghdad, Kirkuk, Diyala, Salahuddin, Nineveh, and Anbar.
