Iraq – Reactions related to the disclosure of the identity of the killer of researcher Hisham Al-Hashemi

After the Iraqi authorities announced the discovery of the identity of the killer of Hisham al-Hashemi, a researcher in strategic affairs and extremist groups, observers and researchers responded to this criminal case. Some considered it an important step to implement justice and the rule of law, but it came too late, more than a year after the assassination, and this is a negative indication that  It pushes other armed groups to commit crimes against important figures, while others assert that the fragility of the security situation is what prompted these groups to commit crimes against influential figures, and that announcing the names of those involved in the assassination will positively reflect on the security situation and reveal files related to killers and gangs that were unknown to public opinion.
