On 3 September, Sabereen News (KH — affiliated) and Unit 10,000 (KH — affiliated) carried identical wording from an unidentified security source claiming that a PMF force captured one of the most dangerous wanted suspects during an ambush in the desert of Hit district, western Anbar. The reports said the suspect was wanted under Article 4 Terrorism for alleged ISIS membership and support, but they named neither the detainee nor the PMF formation, and no named authority confirmed the operation.

The identical KH-network framing foregrounds a PMF counterterrorism role without assigning operational credit to a named formation.
