A statement by the prime minister's media office said that they will reveal the identities and pursue those who committed the crime.

Prime Minister al-Kadhimi said without giving further details that these perpetrators are the same who killed Nibras Farman, an Iraqi National Intelligence Service (INIS) officer.

Before dawn, al-Kadhimi escaped unharmed from an armed drone assassination attempt at his residence in the heavily fortified Green Zone, which houses some of the main offices of the Iraqi government and foreign embassies.
