Baghdad: The Iraqi
Supreme Judicial Council, which is country's highest judicial
body, has issued an arrest warrant for Vice President Tariq al-Hashimi,
said an interior ministry official Monday.
The warrant has been issued based on Article Four of the country's
anti-terrorism law, without giving a timeframe for the
implementation, Xinhua reported.
"The judiciary panel (formed by the council) of five judges issued
an arrest warrant for the vice president of the Republic," said
Interior Ministry spokesman Major General Adel Daham in a press
conference.
The ministry, at the press conference, presented confessions of
three detained suspects, including two of Hashimi's security
guards, noting that they carried out several terror operations
with the knowledge of Hashimi or under his command.
Earlier Monday, the Supreme Judicial Council reportedly banned the
vice president from travelling abroad.
