Shafaq News/ Mohammed al-Halbousi, ousted Parliament Speaker and leader
of the Taqaddum Party, filed a lawsuit on Thursday against political analyst
Hamid al-Hayis.
According to the complaint, signed by his attorney Anwar al-Alwani,
al-Hayis "made false accusations against Al-Halbousi and defamed it in
front of a large Iraqi audience with the intent of political sabotage and extortion"
during his appearance on a program aired by an Iraqi satellite channel.
According to the complaint, Al-Hayes said on the Dijla TV channel, "The
Parliament Speaker Al-Halbousi is a terrorism supporter."
Taqadum Alliance is a Sunni party, the largest in the Iraqi Parliament,
with more than 40 members.
