SULAIMANI (ESTA) — The Kurdistan Region Security Council (KRSC) on Friday blamed the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) for killing the former head of the Parastin intelligence organization.
Brigadier-general Mohammed Mirza who worked as the former head of the Region’s Information and Protection/Protection (Parasitn) intelligence unit was killed last Sunday after his car exploded in Duhok’s Zakho district.
The KRSC in a statement accused the PKK of killing Mirza, saying the group attached a bomb beneath his car earlier that day, and later detonated by a remote control.
The KRSC also vowed that the perpetrators will be brought to justice and took “convenient measures”.
Parastin is a well-known intelligence unit of Kurdistan affiliated with the ruling Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP).
