Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): Al-Sudani, on Friday, Jan 31, emphasized that the arrest of these criminal oppressors of the Baath regime of Saddam emphasizes the approach of pursuing criminals even if some time has passed since they escaped.
The Commander-in-Chief of the Iraqi Armed Forces emphasized the continuation of efforts to pursue all criminals against the Iraqi people at any time and place.
In this regard, the Iraqi National Security Agency announced in a statement the arrest of five individuals in connection with this case.
The Iraqi National Security Agency announced: The first-degree defendant, Saadoun Sabri Jamil, holds the rank of Major General and openly confessed that he carried out the execution of Martyr Sayyid Muhammad Baqir Al-Sadr (may Allah be pleased with him) and his sister with a personal weapon.
