On 18 August at 15:14, Al-Kornet al-Kata'ibi (KSS — affiliated) issued a public call to "the resistance and holy Popular Mobilization audience" for a denunciatory protest against wrongful conduct toward a fighter of the PMF's Baghdad Belt Operations Command, at Palestine Street, Karim al-Nada, the following Wednesday at 5pm Baghdad time. The text frames the grievance against "sedition and external calls for internal fighting imposed by Tom Barrack and other parties". The incident, the fighter and the party responsible are not identified, which is why this stands as a single-source filing.
