Ahmad al-Sharaa, the former Al-Qaeda commander, was invited by the Iraqi Prime Minister to visit the country next month for the Arab League Summit
Iraqi lawmakers are seeking to block Syria's de facto President, Ahmad al-Sharaa, from visiting Baghdad next month for the Arab League Summit, citing his past role as a commander in Al-Qaeda, which carried out hundreds of terror attacks against Iraqi civilians following the 2003 US invasion.
The Media Line published a leaked document on 20 April showing a request from Iraq’s Parliament to arrest Sharaa, previously known as “Abu Mohammad al-Jolani," on allegations of terrorism and document forgery should he enter Iraq for the summit.
The letter was issued by Iraq’s Council of Representatives and sent to the Office of the Public Prosecutor in Baghdad. It urges an investigation and potential arrest of al-Sharaa should he enter Iraqi territory.
An invitation to attend the 17 May summit was recently extended to the Syrian President by Iraqi Prime Minister Muhammad Shia al-Sudani.
“Yes, a formal invitation has been delivered to him, and he is welcome to attend and participate in the Arab Summit,” Sudani told The National’s Editor-in-Chief Mina al-Oraibi during a discussion at the Sulaymaniyah Forum on Wednesday.
Following the event, a picture leaked of an unannounced meeting between Sudani and Sharaa that took place in Qatar on Tuesday, sparking anger among Shia political factions and armed groups.
Over 50 Iraqi politicians also signed a request Saturday asking the Speaker of Parliament to issue a block on Sharaa entering the country “for the sake of the martyrs, their families, the wounded, the Iraqi people and the principles," The National reported on Sunday.
Iraqi MP Falih al-Khazali said in response to the invitation for Sharaa to visit Baghdad that “Iraq is the center of Arab dialogue; we will not allow Baghdad to become a safe haven for the terrorist Jolani. The blood of the martyrs has not dried yet.” ..
