On 29 August, Abu Mujahid al-Asaf (KH — security official) said Faleh al-Fayyad warned KH before what he called a Saudi-American bombardment, that KH took precautions, and that PMF information had been incomplete because it indicated only KH or other Islamic Resistance factions would be attacked. He also said KH was continuing to arrange Al-Nasr City security with Babil Governor Ali Turki al-Jamali, adding that there was no concern “so long as a pulse still beats within us,” and invited Khamis al-Khanjar to visit with KH-funded travel, hospitality and two-way protection from and to Doha or Astana. The same statement demanded an end to factional quarrels, attacks on leaders and competition over positions, while accusing an unnamed group of responsibility for a Doura incident that it said killed two security personnel and injured others; no supplied press reporting corroborates the alleged bombardment, warning, precautions or Doura attribution.
