State militias are challenging the Iraqi government and al-Kazemi personally with the assassination days after the militia accused the government of moving 300 intelligence service members to the border crossings.– Sheikh Thaer Al-Bayati (@ thaer350) March 21, 2021

The incident came days after a targeted campaign against the device by the leaders of Iranian-affiliated militias, most notably Qais Khazali.I am afraid that the operation was also carried out by state cars and by people who have 6 days left to receive their salaries from the state as well!
