2018-05-02
Baghdad (Iraqinews.com) ‐ Iraqi police denied that one of its rapid response units clashed with militias of Shia holy man Moqtada Tater al-Sadr
... the Iranian catspaw holy man who was 22 years old in 2003 and was nearing 40 in 2010. He spends most of his time in Iran, safely out of the line of fire, where he's learning to be an ayatollah...
in Tuz Khurmatu district in Salahuddin.

In a statement, a copy of which was obtained by Knooz Media, Iraqi police said, "Al-Sadr’s Saraya al-Salam militias received a tip-off that a rapid response unit came under a terrorist attack near a security checkpoint in Salahuddin."

"Immediately, the militias rushed to the incident site, but one of the coppers stationed at the checkpoint shot up them as he thought they were terrorists," the statement explained. "The situation has been successfully contained."

The statement highlighted that the unit’s commander "extended thanks to Saraya al-Salam fighters and praised their efforts to protect the city."
