Coalition forces detain key Katai’b Hezbollah facilitator
BAGHDAD – Coalition forces captured a suspected Iranian-backed financer for Katai’b Hezbollah Wednesday morning, along with four other suspected criminals, during an operation in Al Amarah, in the Maysan province.
Acting on intelligence information, Coalition forces targeted a key Katai’b Hezbollah facilitator assessed to provide financing for network criminal activities.
Coalition forces approached the suspect’s location where he identified himself to forces and was detained without incident, along with four other suspected criminals. During their search, Coalition forces also discovered more than $50,000 U.S. Dollars and nearly $12 million Iraqi Dinar (approximately $10,000 U.S. Dollars).
Katai’b Hezbollah is assessed to be responsible for the mishandled IRAMs, which exploded in the Shaab district of Adhamiyah in Baghdad on June 4, killing 16 Iraqi civilians and injuring 29 others.
