Seismic source characterization largely relies on a newly compiled earthquake catalog since sufficiently detailed information is not available on active faulting in the country even though there are numerous known active faults. Former defence minister Doug Henderson went further, calling for a military pullout and a political solution to the crisis.

The current building code of Iraq, which was published in , is currently undergoing a significant engineering update.
This study was undertaken in order to support the building code update and to satisfy the need in Iraq for a contemporary assessment of seismic hazard in terms of spectral accelerations. Seismic source characterization largely relies on a newly compiled earthquake catalog since sufficiently detailed information is not available on active faulting in the country even though there are numerous known active faults. There is also a lack of locally recorded strong-motion data.
As a result, we make use of attenuation tomography studies in the region to compare local attenuation characteristics with that in other parts of the world where ground-motion prediction equations are available for use in PSHA. For most of the country, the attenuation of 1HzLg waves indicates an attenuation rate that is slower than active tectonic regions but faster than stable continental regions.
Hence, we use ground-motion prediction equations from active tectonic and stable continental regions, weighted equally. The largest hazard, and consequently the design ground motions, is in the northern cities of Sulaymaniyah and Erbil, consistent with the fact that they are the two urban areas closest to major tectonic features to the north and east of Iraq. Additionally, the Badra—Amarah fault zone is a significant contributor to seismic hazard in the country; therefore, urban areas near it exhibit high seismic hazard.

Within that crackdown, militias are widely believed to have waged a campaign of terror, abducting dozens of prominent activists and assassinating more than He threw himself into using the law to help people in Amara, a small city flanked by marshes on the Tigris River that is the capital of Missan province. He married young and soon had a daughter, now 2. He often represented women trying to divorce abusive husbands. When the protests erupted, Jasb participated and formed a legal committee to help those detained.
It was incorporated under the state-sponsored umbrella group, the Popular Mobilization Forces, created to fight the Islamic State group in Over the years, it came to control important government offices and many businesses in Missan. Notorious for illicit dealings, it milked major revenue from border trade from Iran.

There was no response to repeated emails by the AP to the PMF seeking comment for this story, and calls and messages to al-Awfia were not answered. When Jasb started getting threats, his father pleaded with him to stop criticizing the militia online. His peers believe his last case may have sealed his fate. On Oct. His successor, Mustafa al-Kadhimi, branded himself as a champion of the protesters. He promised to hold early elections, investigate violence against activists and curtail armed groups.
But he was soon faced with the limits of his own administration. A raid on the Iranian-backed Kataib Hezbollah, suspected of firing the rockets, backfired when most of those detained were set free — lack of evidence, the court said. Militias blocked attempts to increase customs revenues, which would have cut funds they skim from cross-border trade, and militia corruption wrecked a program to boost agricultural exports, multiple officials said.
The July shooting death of a high-profile commentator and critic of Iran, Hisham al-Hashimi, sent shockwaves across Baghdad. Two leading activists in Basra were assassinated. They believed they knew why: Evidence had revealed a link to the commander of the al-Awfia militia, Haidar al-Gharawi.
Aboud and al-Ameri considered a bold gambit: Move the case to a hopefully more independent Baghdad court and request an arrest warrant against al-Gharawi. Little was done to track down the vehicles. Investigators found it belonged to an illegally acquired SIM not registered with the authorities. There is a thriving black market for unregistered SIMs, which cannot be traced to a user. On a recent visit to a Baghdad commercial center, one dealer said the SIMs were smuggled from the northern city of Irbil.
Police tracked down other numbers that had called the unknown SIM. Among them was a man named Saddam Hamed. Hamed told investigators he had had no idea about the unknown number. But he said his wife, Fatima Saeed, sometimes used his phone to call a relative. That relative is married to al-Gharawi, according to his testimony.
