Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi on Monday formally ended Hamid al-Shatri's assignment as head of the Iraqi National Intelligence Service, according to an official order.
The order, issued on al-Zaidi's instructions, cited the December 19, 2024 decree under which al-Shatri was appointed and said the termination would take effect immediately. It did not name a replacement or give a reason.
Al-Shatri was appointed to lead the service in December 2024 under the government of al-Zaidi's predecessor, Mohammed Shia al-Sudani.
