WHAT HAPPENED

On 12 September, Sabereen News (KH — affiliated) reported an attack on an Iraqi army position in Kirkuk and then told readers to determine who attacked the army “after a quarter of an hour,” adding: “Consider them an oil pipeline in Riyadh.” Unit 10,000 (KH — affiliated) and Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) reported the attack, while Al-Ghadeer TV (Badr Organization — official) attributed it to ISIS and subsequently said security forces had repelled it; Shafaq News reported that gunmen attacked the position.

Compared with the factual attack carriage by AAH and Badr outlets, Sabereen News added language implying that the Kirkuk attackers could face treatment analogous to the Saudi pipeline attack.
