Footage leaked by activists online, captures the moments in which a Lieutenant Colonel belonging to Iraq's Popular Mobilization Units demands money from the shopkeeper of a gold store in Iraq's capital, Baghdad.
The Colonel is heard yelling "help us a little" - citing the country's climate of abject poverty to justify his impromptu demands. He spoke angrily and displayed intimidating body language, commanding the seated shop keeper to "prepare the money for collection" as customers watched in awe. "If my demands are not met" he bellowed, "I will make sure that your store is closed down".
