| Aswat al-Iraq: Iraqi lawmaker Mohammed al-Dayni is still at large but he was placed on the red list so that the Interpol may arrest him if he left Iraq, a senior security official said on Saturday. "The Baghdad Operations Command has placed Dayni on the red list," Mohammed Atta, the BOC official spokesman, told Aswat al-Iraq news agency. Atta had earlier said that Dayni has escaped to an unknown place after he was stripped of parliamentary immunity, calling on citizens to report him if any information on his whereabouts was available. The Iraqi parliament had lifted immunity off Dayni on Feb. 25 by majority after the Iraqi interior ministry accused him of involvement in acts of violence. Atta, during a press conference he held on Feb. 22, said that Dayni's nephew, Riad, has acknowledged the responsibility of his maternal uncle for the deadly blast that occurred inside the Iraqi parliament on April 12, 2007. |
