The recent assassination attempt against Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi was aimed at destabilizing the Arab country and placing the blame on anti-terror groups.

In a failed assassination attempt early Sunday, an explosive-laden drone targeted the residence of Iraq’s prime minister in Baghdad.
