Earlier, a vehicle belonging to the military intelligence agency tried to break an inmate out of prison, who is arrested on charges of being involved in the failed liquidation attempt against PM al-Kadhimi. This prompted the Prime Minister to immediately instruct a force from the Counter-Terrorism service to head to the Court, where the two sides clashed before the CTS force took the convict to a safe place.
