Iraq’s interior minister resigned on Tuesday and said a deputy would take over his responsibilities, a few days after the deadliest of many car bombings in Baghdad since the 2003 US-led invasion.
Mohammed Ghabban made the announcement at a media conference in Baghdad, a video of which was posted on his Facebook page. His resignation will be official only if Prime Minister Haider Al Abadi approves it. Abadi’s office had no immediate comment.
A car bomb blast on Saturday killed at least 175 people in Baghdad’s central shopping district of Karrada. It was the worst single car bomb attack in Iraq since US forces toppled Saddam Hussein 13 years ago and deepened the anger of many Iraqis over the weak performance of the security apparatus.
Daesh militants, who government forces are trying to eject from large swathes of northern and western territory seized in 2014, claimed responsibility for the bombing.
The attack showed Daesh remains capable of ad hoc attacks causing major loss of life despite losing considerable ground on the battlefield, most recently the city of Falluja, an hour’s drive west of the capital.
Ghabban told Reuters in an interview last month that a recent spate of Daesh bombings in Baghdad would not end unless “disorder” plaguing Iraq’s security apparatus was rectified.
He said then that security forces outside his control — including units reporting to two counter-terrorism agencies, two Defense Ministry directorates and regional security commands — overlap with his ministry’s own counter-intelligence efforts.
