BAGHDAD, Aug 16 (Reuters) - An Iraqi parliamentary panel called on Sunday for at least 30 security and political officials, including former Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, to be referred to court in connection with the fall of the northern city of Mosul to Islamic State.

In the panel's report, seen by Reuters and confirmed as accurate by three of its members, the committee also placed responsibility for the June 2014 defeat with former Mosul Governor Atheel al-Nujaifi, former acting defence minister Sadoun al-Dulaimi and Nineveh police commander Khalid al-Hamdani.
