Gunfire was reported in Baghdad’s Green Zone. @sentdefender reported that former Iraqi MP Talal Al-Zoubi was arrested shortly afterward. Al-Zoubi is a member of Iraq’s Azem coalition, a Sunni-Arab group.
The report stated that the arrest does not signal broader targeting of the coalition. Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi is conducting widespread crackdowns on corruption. The arrest of Al-Zoubi is presented as subordinate to those efforts.
