Boris Johnson has condemned an attempt on the life of the Iraqi premier.
The Prime Minister spoke to Mustafa al-Kadhimi after the attack by armed drones on his residence in Baghdad.
Seven of the Iraqi leaders guards were injured in the assassination attempt, which Mr al-Kadhimi labelled “cowardly”.
“He made clear that the UK stands by the Iraqi people and supports the prime minister’s call for calm and restraint,” the spokesman said.
At least two drones are believed to have been involved in the attack in Baghdad’s heavily fortified Green Zone.
“Cowardly rocket and drone attacks don’t build homelands and don’t build a future,” he said.
