Erbil court issues warrant for ex-MP
Also in Kurdistan President Barzani worked for years to facilitate Ankara-PKK peace process: Spox Explosive-laden drone intercepted near Erbil airport Duhok forest catches fire Explosive-laden drone crashes in Sulaimani province A+ A- ERBIL, Kurdistan Region - An Erbil court has issued an arrest warrant for a former member of the Iraqi parliament on charges of insulting a public body or official. The Erbil Investigative Court issued a warrant for Ahmed Haji Rashid, a member of the Kurdistan Justice Group (Komal) who served in the parliament's previous term, and sent it to a court in Sulaimani, where Rashid lives, to be carried out. The warrant was issued on June 5 but was only publicly reported on Thursday. The specific reason for the warrant is unknown, but Rashid has been charged with Article 226 of the Iraqi Penal Code, which stipulates that anyone who insults the government, courts, armed forces, or any other organized body, or public authorities and official institutions, "shall be punished with imprisonment for a period not exceeding 7 years, or detention or fine." An official from Komal and friend of Rashid told Rudaw on the condition of anonymity on Friday that he is willing to appear before the judge 'if there is a court with no party influence.' Rashid has been very critical of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) and suggested in a recent interview with the pro-Iran al-Ahad TV that thousands of drones confiscated during the 12-day war between Iran and Israel in Tehran may have been smuggled into Iran through the Kurdistan Region.

Unidentified drone strikes military base in Baghdad, no claim for attack
Baghdad – An 'unidentified' drone struck a military base in Baghdad early Tuesday while another fell in the west of the capital, Iraqi security sources said. The first attack hit a radar system at the Taji base, causing only material damage, a security source told AFP. Another drone fell in the Radwaniya district, ten kilometres west of Baghdad International Airport, where US troops are deployed in a base as part of an anti-jihadist coalition, the source added. A government security spokesman Saad Maan confirmed that at Taji 'an unidentified drone struck the radar', adding that another drone 'fell near a generator', without providing further details. Lieutenant General Walid al-Tamimi told the official Iraqi News Agency that no casualties were reported. There was no claim of responsibility for the attack. The strikes come hours after Iran launched missiles at a US military facility in Qatar in retaliation for the American bombing of Tehran's nuclear facilities. Iraqi security sources told AFP that 'so far' Iran had not attacked bases hosting US troops in Iraq.
