Air Presto Ultra , Aug. 17 (Xinhua) -- The Iraqi parliament on Monday referred a report of an investigation panel that found former prime minister Nuri al-Maliki and dozens of security and political officials responsible for the fall of Iraq's northern city of Mosul, to the country's judiciary, an official said.
"The lawmakers voted in majority during their session today over referring the report about the fall of Mosul to the judiciary without reading the report," a parliament official told Xinhua on condition of anonymity.
The parliament's move to send the report without reading it in the session came to curb the tension between the political blocs, after Maliki's State of Law bloc threatened to walk out of the session in protest at the report that they considered politically biased, the official said.
