Shafaq News/ A reliable security source in Dhi Qar said that the news about an assassination attempt targeting a journalist protestor in al-Haboubi square is untrue, noting that what happened was nothing but a dispute between the demonstrators over the protest’s location and plans. 

According to the source, one of the dispute’s parties was a journalist named Omran Kamel, who later claimed that he was subjected to an assassination attempt in the square yesterday. 

A security force cordoned off Al-Haboubi Square yesterday and arrested four people, including the Kamel.
