Middle Coalition MP Khalid Sulaiman Al-Fahdawi said today that the execution of the ex-defense minister Sultan Hashim is "an insult" to the national military institution, as reported in a statement.

(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Al-Fahadawi said in a statement, that "the Iraqi army was never an army of a particular party or political regime, but a national institution that created heroes and specialists in different administrative, medical, engineering and other specializations.
