Lt. Col. Riyadh Hamid of Babil police told Al-Shorfa that al-Janabi, imam of the Grand Mosque in Jurf al-Sakhr, was killed when gunmen in a new vehicle attacked the mosque and fired a barrage of bullets at it while he was inside.
Hamid said al-Janabi died of his wounds shortly after the attack and that security forces are currently conducting an investigation.

We realize the suffering of the Iraqi people from terrorism and its criminal bloody operations that strike the country from east to west. We also know well the costs that Iraq pays as a result of the huge damages which affect the lives of Iraqis, their income, the tourism, and other things. The terrorist group wants to topple Iraq, divide it, and plant sectarian and religious strife among the Iraqi people.

The Iraqi people are still suffering as a result of the crimes of terrorism and the activities of terrorist organizations inside the country. All the terrorist groups and organizations are engaged in the repression and murdering of the noble citizens of Iraq. Everyday the terrorist crimes are growing in numbers compared to the day before, and they show no care or mercy. The word that exacerbates the pain and suffering of the Iraqi people the most throughout history is ‘terrorism’, as it is the most painful world for the Iraqi citizens, whether it be terrorist groups or organizations. The brotherly country of Iraq has lost many, many of the best of its youths and noble people at the hands of these criminals by means of bomb attacks and bloodshed across all the Iraqi cities.

Whatever the manifestations of terrorism and its causes are, it remains the attitude of armed criminal action against the law, dismissive of democracy and of freedom and of Arab individuals’ and Arab citizens’ security. Let us pray and ask God to protect our Arab countries from this imminent danger, eradicate that scourge by its roots and get rid of it, so we Arabs can enjoy our full security and peace.
