On 7 November 2021, the Iraqi Armed Forces reported that Prime Minister of Iraq Mustafa Al-Kadhimi survived an assassination attempt that morning. An explosive-laden drone attacked his Baghdad residence while two were shot down. Several members of his security personnel were injured.[3] No one has claimed responsibility, although the general consensus is that it was perpetrated by pro-Iran militias.[4][5][6][7][8] The assassination attempt was probably connected to the pro-Iran militia supporters who caused the Baghdad clashes two days before.[9][10][11][12][13]
On 8 November, Kadhimi's office released a statement that the perpetrators were the same people who assassinated Nibras Farman, an agent for the Iraqi National Intelligence Service.[14]
