Beginning at 22:10 on 13 August, Sabereen News and Al-Ghadeer TV posted near-identical one-line reports of a security force at al-Suqur checkpoint clashing with an MP's protection detail in Anbar, followed within minutes by Unit 10,000. Al-Kornet al-Kata'ibi then published a longer account describing initial reports of clashes between an Anbar MP's detail and checkpoint personnel after the convoy refused to submit several vehicles loaded with unidentified packaged material to inspection. Roughly eight and nineteen minutes later, Sabereen News and Unit 10,000 posted an identical update stating that security personnel had been arrested because of al-Halbousi's influence. The rung holds at preponderance: four channels across three actors describe the same incident, but all are militia-linked, no outside coverage of the clash is in the retrieved evidence, and the arrests and the al-Halbousi attribution appear only in the two KH-linked channels.
