On August 27, faction-linked outlets reported that gunfire during an encroachment-removal operation in Doura killed the Karkh director of Baghdad Municipality Police and another officer. Sabereen News (KH — affiliated) attributed the shooting to a group linked to Saad al-Aithawi and highlighted a Federal Police withdrawal, while five other outlets reported the exchange, assault or casualties without identifying the shooters. No Iraqi militia claimed responsibility, and the supplied evidence does not establish that al-Aithawi’s group is an Iraqi militia.

The cross-outlet agreement on the police casualties contrasts with the single-source perpetrator attribution; confirmation of al-Aithawi’s organization would determine whether this was militia violence, organized criminal resistance or armed action by local landholders.
