A Baghdad security source has confirmed that the Iraqi authorities have identified the suicide attacker who blew up himself in front of Nabil Restaurant in Al-Masbah area of the Karradah neighbourhood of Baghdad. The suicide attack, which took place on New Year's eve, led to the death of several Iraqi citizens.
The source said that the perpetrator was a Palestinian, born in Baghdad in 1984, who used to live with his family in Al-Ta'lim neighbourhood, close to Al-Karkh area.
The source revealed that a Baghdad-resident Palestinian gave the information which led to the identification of the suicide attacker. He described the informer as an honest Palestinian who does not wish to see Iraq turn into an arena for Al-Qa'idah war with its enemies. He added that the security bodies will interrogate the father of the said suicide attacker within their investigations into the incident.
