On August 29, Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official owned media) relayed an unspecified Kata'ib statement condemning the Doura incident, accusing its perpetrators of belonging to a milieu associated with identity-based killing and criticizing the silence of “fitna channels.” Political analyst Essam Hussein, appearing on the same outlet, alleged that the colonel’s killer had political-religious backing, followed Madkhali thought and had a history of murder; the supplied captions identify neither the alleged backers nor supporting police or judicial findings.
