which some Sadrists sent a note to a wealthy Fayli man living
in the Jumila neighborhood of Baghdad, threatening to kill
him if he did not vacate his house or provide a bribe. The
Fayli man went to the local Sadrist office and explained that
he too was Shia, and wondered why they were threatening him.

gone to the office to report the first note. He then opted
to flee to the Kurdistan Region. Samia said she took this up
with Sadrist CoR member Nasar al-Rubaie who admitted that
many Sadrist offices were penetrated by criminals. Samia
opined that the Sadrists are using the Fayli excuse to
justify their theft
