A fact from Mukhtar Army appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 14 March 2013 ( check views). The text of the entry was as follows: Did you know... that the Iraqi government issued an arrest warrant for Wathiq al-Battat, the head of a new Shi'a Iraqi militia group called the Mukhtar Army? A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2013/March. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Mukhtar Army.

Presently the identity, background, and connections of this group are not at all well established, and are subject to quite differing reports and claims, depending on their source. Given that the conflict on the ground in Iraq is so ideologically contested throught the region (and elsewhere), we should be aware of the risk of inadvertantly furthering one side's spin on matters. I've tried to keep as much material as possible from earlier edits, but have reworked the article to reflect the current uncertainties. D Dayus ( talk) 21:52, 18 June 2013 (UTC) reply
