Kurdistan 24 · Iraq / Kurdistan · Iraq arrests 47 officials in pre-dawn Green Zone raid, including a deputy oil minister and thirteen MPs
Kurdistan 24 carries PM al-Zaidi's language as 'stage one' (matching 'first phase' across other outlets) with a 'no mercy' vow and confirms the INA-official 47 figure. Kurdish media monitored the sweep closely given the Kurdish parties' own exposure to corruption allegations and the Kirkuk oil-revenue dimensions of the Jumaili case.
