This morning, loyalists to the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) in Iraq, set fire to the headquarters of the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) in the center of the capital, Baghdad, in response to the statements of its leader Hoshyar Zebari.

 

Dozens of people attacked the headquarters of the Kurdistan Democratic Party, led by Masoud Barzani, stormed it and set it on fire despite the presence of mass of security forces who were there to protect it.

Thick plumes of smoke rose into the sky from the headquarters while security forces surrounded the area where the Kurdish party headquarters is located.

 

Heated arguments took place inside the Iraqi parliament between representatives supporting the crowd and representatives of the Kurdistan Democratic Party.
