Host: The Government did nothing during those five days?
Shahwani: No.

Shahwani: No.
Host:  General, in order to not misunderstand what you are saying, is this nonchalance or a conspiracy?  When you say the Government did nothing, do you mean the Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki himself, or you mean the Government in general? Because, what you are saying is a very big and important issue.

Why no action was taken? There was a problem, yet we don’t know what the problem was. It was for sure   negligence or was done deliberately.
