Will Nouri al-Maliki be tried for ISIS takeover of Mosul?

A damning parliamentary probe has called for Iraq’s former prime minister Nouri al-Maliki to face trial for the fall of Mosul last year to Islamic State fighters.

Maliki is among nearly three dozen top Iraqi generals and politicians that were named in the investigation, including Babaker Zebari, the military’s former chief of staff, Bloomberg reported Monday.
