Mustafa Al Kadhimi Iraq Prime Minister Survives Assassination Attempt – Is Mustafa Al Kadhimi’s wife’s information kept private? Is he married or unmarried? Let us learn more about Iraq’s Prime Minister.
Abd al-Latif al-Ghuraybawi, who was born in Al-Shatra, a town in southern Iraq northeast of Nasiriyah, gave birth to Al-Kadhimi in Baghdad in 1967. He then moved from Nasiriyah to Baghdad as a student.
Al-Kadhimi, an Al-Turath University law graduate, was in charge of restructuring Iraq’s National Intelligence Service in order to make it more effective and compliant with international standards.
He oversaw the depoliticization of intelligence activities, the implementation of advanced intelligence gathering and analysis procedures, and the establishment of priorities to widen the scope of the National Intelligence Service’s operations.
Under his direction, the agency’s scope was enlarged, particularly in counter-terrorism, both domestically and internationally, and it played a critical role in Iraq’s fight against ISIL, also known as Daesh. During his tenure, he built relationships with a number of countries and bureaus involved in the US-led coalition fighting ISIL.
Iraq’s parliament gave the vote of confidence to the new Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi and his partial Cabinet in the wee hours of Thursday, to succeed the resigned government headed by Adel Abdul-Mahdi.
Al-Kadhimi succeeded to form a new government after two former prime minister-designates Mohammad Allawi and Adnan Al-Zurfi failed to garner support.
Mustafa Abdul-Latif, known as Al-Kadhimi, was born in Baghdad in 1967.
Al-Kadhimi belongs to al-Gharib tribe, and moved with his family from Al-Shatrah town in Dhi Qar province to live in the capital Baghdad in 1963.
His father Abdul-Latif al-Gharibawi had political and partisan affiliations as he was representative for the National Democratic Party in Al-Shatrah.
Al-Kadhimi holds a bachelor’s degree in law, and is married to the daughter of Mahdi Al-Allaq, a leading member in the Islamic Dawa party led by former Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.
He was known for opposing the regime of former President Saddam Hussein, but he did not join any of the political parties.
He left Iraq in 1985 for Iran, then Germany and the UK before he returned to Baghdad after the fall of Saddam Hussein’s regime in 2003.
After his return, Al-Kadhimi worked as the editor-in-chief of a weekly magazine — whose concessionaire is the current President Barham Salih — and he chose for himself the title of al-Kadhimi.
He has worked as an executive director for the Iraqi Memory Foundation and contributed to documenting testimonies and collecting films on victims of the former regime.
Al- Kadhimi ran from Baghdad and London the Humanitarian Dialogue Foundation, an independent organization that seeks to bridge gaps between societies and cultures and establish dialogue as an alternative to violence in resolving crises.
He also worked as a columnist and managing editor of the Iraq section of the international Al-Monitor news website and his articles focused on devoting the spirit of social peace to the country.
During his career, he published many books, most notably The Iraq Question and The Reconciliation between the Past and the Future.
Former Prime Minister Haidar Al-Abadi appointed him as the head of the National Intelligence Service in June 2016, after he worked as a political mediator between various Iraqi parties in many crises.
Al-Kadhimi does not possess any citizenship other than Iraqi, although he possessed a political asylum passport granted to him by the UK during his opposition to Saddam Hussein’s regime.
Iraq has been roiled by mass protests since early October over poor living conditions and corruption, forcing Prime Minister Adil Abdul-Mahdi to resign.
Popular protests demand the departure and accountability of all political figures accused of corruption and wasting state funds since the fall of Saddam Hussein’s regime in 2003.

Who Is Mustafa Al Kadhimi Wife?
Mustafa Al Kadhimi has not revealed whether he is married or not. He appears to be a pretty private individual.
He receives threats and warnings as Prime Minister, and he does not want to engage his family in this. According to reports, after an attack on his home in Baghdad, Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi confirmed he was unharmed.
Officials say a drone filled with explosives was sent to his apartment in the capital’s Green Zone in an apparent assassination attempt. Mr. Al-Kadhimi was reportedly transferred to the hospital, according to media sources.
In a tweet, he urged his supporters and citizens to maintain calm and moderation for the sake of Iraq.
At least six members of the prime minister’s security detail were hurt, according to officials. No one has claimed responsibility for the attack, which took place in an area of the city where numerous government buildings and international embassies are located.
Mustafa Al Kadhimi Net Worth
Mustafa Al Kadhimi has a net worth of $1 million to 5 million.
Mustafa Al Kadhimi has emerged as a strong contender for the prime ministership following months of protests across Iraq in October 2019 and the resignation of Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi and his cabinet.
In 2017, Al-Kadhimi and Haider al-Abadi visited Riyadh. When Al-Kadhimi was spotted in a long embrace with his friend Mohammed bin Salman, he made headlines.
So the Prime Minister of Iraq has collected most of his net worth from his political career. He is also active on Twitter under the username @MAKadhimi.
