The Basra Operations Command denied what was circulated by some satellite channels about the security situation getting out of control inside Al-Zubair district, south of the governorate.
The leadership of Basra Operations Command said in a statement, “This news is inaccurate and untrue, as it is a personal clan case between cousins from a clan known for the district and has nothing to do with sectarianism.”
It indicated that the security forces are extending their control in Al-Zubair district and pursuing those responsible for the quarrel that claimed the life of one of its members.
The leadership called on all satellite channels to be accurate in transmitting news.
