Iraq Popular Mobilization Forces security incidents
Overview
The Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) in Iraq conducted security operations across 12 provinces, resulting in the arrest of 45 suspects. These arrests targeted various groups, including organized crime networks, individuals involved in leaking state security information, and those linked to the banned Ba’ath party.
Following these operations, an explosion occurred at a PMF headquarters in eastern Baghdad. While the PMF attributed the blast to an “internal malfunction of damaged or obsolete ammunition” rather than an external attack, reports on casualties varied, with some sources noting one fatality and four injuries. In response, Prime Minister Ali Faleh Al-Zaidi ordered an investigative committee to examine the incident, and the Ministerial Council for National Security held an emergency meeting.
