Shafaq News / On Friday, Iraqi security forces arrested two suspects in connection with a brawl that took place in the Zayouna area, east of Baghdad.

A security source told Shafaq News Agency that "a brawl between citizens, including a brigadier affiliated with the Border Forces, occurred on Thursday night in the Zayouna area." The source noted that the confrontation began due to "inappropriate language directed at the brigadier, who was on leave at the time."
