[SHAFAQ] The Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi, instructed to arrest the commander of the force in control in al-Sadr City, following the earth-shattering kaboom that killed and maimed 20 persons.

The Security Media Cell said in a statement that the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces ordered the detention of the commander of the force in control in al-Sadr City, of the first regiment in the Fourth Brigade of the Federal Police, following the earth-shattering kaboom.

Al-Kadhimi instructed the Baghdad operations command to open an investigation to uncover the incident's circumstances, according to the statement.
