Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Al-Zaidi has given Kataib Hezbollah until the end of this week to hand full security responsibility for Jurf Al-Sakhr to government forces, warning of possible military intervention, informed government and political sources told Shafaq News on Sunday.
Al-Zaidi, also commander-in-chief of the armed forces, conveyed the final deadline to mediators from the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) and the Shiite Coordination Framework (CF), the sources said. He intends to assign special forces from the Counter Terrorism Service (CTS) to establish full security and military control over the subdistrict in northern Babil province in the coming days if mediation fails.
