Armed Iraqi tribes in their clashes in the past few days have apprehended a number of armed militants fighting under the flag of ‘Daesh’ (Iraqi al-Qaeda). In the preliminary investigations into these individuals conducted by the tribes, it has become clear they are actually members of the 9th Badr militants linked to the Iranian regime. A local Iraqi TV station said in a report, “The al-Malaheme tribe in al-Khalediya rose against a number of ‘Daesh’ militants and apprehended many of them. It later became clear they are members of the 9th Badr militants.”
