A heavy question under the parliamentary dome: Did the government have any prior information about the US-Saudi attack?

The file of strikes targeting sites in Iraq entered a new phase, after first deputy president of Council of Representatives Adnan Fihan directed the formation of a committee to investigate and disclose facts about whether the government had prior information on the date of the targeting, and whether it had taken the necessary actions and measures before it occurred.

According to the guideline issued during the ZCouncil of Representatives regular session, the committee was given one week to submit its report and the results of its investigations, in a step that puts the performance of government and security bodies before a direct parliamentary test.

The task isn't just about identifying who is carrying out the strikes, it's about looking at a more sensitive question: Did the government get an advance warning?

The parliamentary move comes in conjunction with the popular assembly's sharp denial of what it described as "unhealthy" allegations, said the body's chairman, Faleh Al-Fiaad, about having prior information about the targeting and not informing military units.

On a parallel scale, the head of the صادقون bloc, Adi Awad, announced an official request to host the Prime Minister and a number of security leaders at a parliamentary session next week, to discuss the modalities of the attacks and violations that swept through the Iraq territory and crowd sites.
