Lesson Brief Al Sumaria
On August 12, Al Sumaria News reported that 500 new volunteers in the Iraqi city of Albuaitha have signed up to join the so-called Popular Mobilization, the term used to describe the Shiite militias, many of which are backed by Iran, fighting Islamic State. A man interviewed in the article claims the volunteers represent all of Iraq's constituencies. The first sentence is a bit confusing; a clause ends after the word muhimm, 'important'.  The video is embedded in the article.
