"The Iraqi side approved the list of organizations subject to fund freezing, limiting it to the inclusion of organizations and individuals linked exclusively to IS and Al-Qaeda [terrorist organizations banned in Russia]. The inclusion of other organizations occurred because the list was published before it was amended," the committee said in a statement obtained by Sputnik. Committee chief Omar al-Khalif said in a separate comment, seen by Sputnik, that the two Shiite groups were included in the list "by mistake" and demanded "the removal of these organizations and associated individuals from the list of organizations whose funds are subject to freezing."Earlier in the day, the Iraqi Official Gazette published a list of 14 groups that were designated as terrorist organizations by Iraq, sparking outrage from Iraqi Shiite militias over Hezbollah's and Houthis' inclusion.
