Grenade event in Iraq on Fri 15th May 2026
15th May 2026
On 15 May 2026, unknown perpetrators targeted the home of Al-Esraa University president Abdul Razzaq Al Majidi on Palestine Street in Baghdad - Rusafa city (Baghdad) with a sound grenade, causing material damage. This was the second incident against Al Majidi within a week, following direct threats he received on 11 May from an armed group after the university administration had refused to pass a failing engineering student in violation of regulations, when over 15 cars showed in front of Al Majidi's home and members of the group demanded he present himself at their headquarters. Earlier in the week Iraqi authorities issued an arrest warrant for the son of the leader of Kataib Hezbollah on charges of threatening Al Majidi in the context of the same dispute over the grades. There were no casualties.
