Iraq submits complaint to UN against Turkey after attack
Iraq has filed a complaint to the U.N. Security Council, requesting an urgent session to discuss a deadly artillery attack this week that Baghdad blames on Turkey, the Foreign Ministry said Saturday.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Ahmad al-Sahaf said the ministry also recalled Iraq’s chargé d’affaires from Ankara. Iraq’s parliament held a session Saturday on the attack, with lawmakers deciding to form a committee to investigate further.
