Salah al-Din’s National Security Director resigns in protest of security violations

SALAH AL-DIN / IraqiNews.com: The Director of the National Security in Salah al-Din Province, Jassem Mohammed, has said on Monday he plans to resign from his post in protest to the continued security violations that have taken place in the Province, as well as the government’s failure to announce the results of investigations about the recent violent incidents. “My decision to tender my resignation to the Ministry of National Security came after the failure of the security bodies in Salah al-Din Province to put an end to the killing of innocent people, and stemming from my moral and vocational responsibility,” he told IraqiNews.com news agency. “Other reasons that pushed me to tendering my resignation was the Central Government not announcing the results of the investigations into the security incidents that took place in Tikrit city. This included the breaking into its Province’s Council building last March and the suicide explosion, targeted against police volunteers at the end of December last,” he noted.   SKH (TS)/SR 600
