This (closed fist) is not the signal in question. Discussed a bit later in the article is the very common (in western culture) raised palm signal, which apparently means "welcome" to an Iraqi.
- swalling 3y agoYes precisely. The common hand gesture for "stop" is different in the Middle East, it has nothing to do with use of military-specific gestures.
