Partially torched and fully abandoned headquarters of Badr Organization in Basra. City is very quiet this morning. But it’s early. And scorching hot.
So far, we’ve seen similar damage at other militia offices and political parties. Except Moqtada al-Sadr’s. “It’s not allowed. His Peace Brigades won’t stand for it and they’re everywhere,” one gentleman told me.
