On 2 October, Al-Ittijah TV (KH — official owned media) described Iraqi Air Force displays over Baghdad and the provinces as celebrating the occupation’s withdrawal. The withdrawal concerns the U.S.-led coalition, whose complete departure Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi announced; Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official owned media) also carried an Iraqi Air Force display caption, emphasizing precision, control and the Bomb Burst maneuver. The two channels establish their respective descriptions, while the celebratory purpose remains attributed to Al-Ittijah.
