The Treasury Department on Thursday sanctioned two former provincial governors and two militia leaders in Iraq, citing human rights violations in Ninevah province, the home of a diverse Christian minority. The two militia leaders — Rayan al-Kildani and Waad Qado — both head divisions within Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Units (PMU). Kildani is leading a Christian militia within the PMU umbrella. The sanctions also target two former governors — Nawfal al-Akoub of Mosul and Ahmed al-Jubouri of Salahuddin province. Akoub fled Mosul last year after Baghdad sacked him over corruption charges following the capsizing of an overloaded ferry that killed some 100 people. Washington accuses Jubouri of working with “Iran-backed proxies that operate outside of state control.” Read More
