“severely condemns” last night’s military raid on a
dormitory in Irbil, a Kurdish Interior Ministry
statement said Wednesday.
“There are no justifications for pounding the
facility. Preliminary investigations show that the
helicopters were not being shot at on the ground,”
Kerim Sinjari, the Kurdish Interior Minister told
reporters at a press conference in Irbil.
Unconfirmed reports say that US special forces were
accompanied by Kurdish fighters and have been seen
in several places in the Kurdish capital during the
night.
Some reports also indicate that a senior member of
the radical group of Ansar al Sunna was reportedly
captured during the operation.
“We contacted the Coalition Forces in Mosul. They
had no information. We asked even the American
forces in Irbil, they were not informed either. Last
night’s forces might have been deployed from
Baghdad;” Mr Sinjari said who also warned that such
operations would undermine the Kurdish authority.
