Mahdi al-Husseini (Sadiqoun Political Bureau — AAH), speaking on Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official owned media) on August 30, said the prime minister warned Faleh al-Fayyad of an alleged Saudi attack on PMF units three hours beforehand, but Fayyadh notified only Kataib Hezbollah rather than the affected PMF units. He called Fayyadh negligent, demanded that he answer to a fact-finding committee rather than through the media, and denied that Sadiqoun sought the PMF chairmanship. Abu Mithaq al-Masari (independent politician), appearing on the same channel, said influential Framework figures considered Fayyadh’s parliamentary appearance political rather than technical, that Fayyadh had been advised not to attend, that the PMF law could lead to his replacement, and that the brigades were warned because they were accused of shelling Saudi Arabia rather than because the PMF institution was accused.

““The prime minister informed Fayyadh of the aggression against PMF units three hours beforehand”; “Fayyadh must provide justification before a fact-finding committee, not the media”; “Sadiqoun does not seek the position of PMF Commission chairman”; “Fayyadh did not inform PMF units of the attack”; “Fayyadh is negligent and must be held accountable”; “Fayyadh informed only the brigades of the Saudi”
رئيس الوزراء ابلغ الفياض بالعدوان على قطعات الحشد قبل 3 ساعات؛ الفياض مطالب بالتبرير امام لجنة تقصي الحقائق وليس الاعلام؛ الصادقون لا تسعى للوصول الى منصب رئيس هيئة الحشد؛ الفياض لم يبلغ قطعات الحشد بالاعتداء؛ الفياض مقصر ويجب ان يتعرض للمساءلة؛ الفياض ابلغ الكتائب فقط بالعدوان السعودي

““Some influential figures within the Framework consider hosting Fayyadh political rather than technical”; “Fayyadh was advised not to go to parliament”; “Fayyadh may be replaced with the passage of the PMF law”; “Fayyadh informed the brigades because they are accused of shelling Saudi Arabia, not the PMF”; “Fayyadh did not withdraw the PMF from the Syrian border and Jurf because of military necess”
بعض "المتنفذين" داخل الاطار يعتبرون استضافة الفياض سياسية وليست فنية؛ الفياض تلقى نصيحة بعدم الذهاب الى البرلمان؛ الفياض قد يتغير باقرار قانون الحشد الشعبي؛ الفياض ابلغ الكتائب لانها متهمة بقصف السعودية وليس الحشد؛ الفياض لم يسحب الحشد من الحدود السورية والجرف لضرورات عسكرية
Compared with al-Masari’s contextual account, Husseini’s demand places Sadiqoun publicly against Fayyadh over command responsibility while expressly denying that it seeks his office.
