Shafaq News– Baghdad
The Karkh Criminal Court in Baghdad sentenced three people
to 15 years in prison each on Thursday under Iraq’s anti-terrorism law for
launching Katyusha rockets at the K1 military base in Kirkuk province.
The court identified the defendants as Abbas Qasim Abbas,
Mahdi Firas Mustafa and Abdullah Zain al-Abideen Haider.
According to the ruling, the defendants launched Katyusha
rockets at K1 base in the Al-Yayji area of Kirkuk, with the rockets landing
near an Iraqi Counter-Terrorism Service regiment and the French contingent
serving with the international coalition.
The court found that “the attack was intended to undermine
security and stability in Iraq and spread fear among civilians for terrorist
purposes.”
