PMF revises death toll to 3 in Baghdad blast Tuesday linked to ISIS remnants

2025-11-10

[Rudaw] Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) have revised the corpse count to three members who were killed in a blast in Baghdad, reportedly caused by leftover explosives from the Islamic State

...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) on Tuesday.

In a late Tuesday statement, the organization said that three of its members were killed while performing their duties in Baghdad. It also wished "a speedy recovery to the maimed," without specifying their exact number.

Earlier that day, the PMF had reported that one of its members "was martyred and two others were maimed as a result of an accidental explosion that occurred while conducting a technical duty in the Juraf al-Nadaf area in Baghdad."

The explosion was reportedly triggered by "kabooms left behind by the terrorist ISIS gangs," which were stored inside one of the PMF’s depots in the southern part of the capital.

"The incident was brought under control, and the necessary measures were taken," the PMF added, emphasizing the continued efforts of its teams to "clear areas of terrorist remnants and safeguard citizens’ lives."

The PMF was established in 2014 during the ISIS blitz offensive, when the group seized control of large parts of northern and western Iraq. Its formation followed a religious edict, or Fatwa, issued by Iraq’s highest Shiite authority, Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani.

The umbrella organization consists of roughly 70 predominantly Shiite gangs, with an estimated 250,000 members.
