Iraqi national charged with coordinating terror attacks against U.S. and Israeli interests across multiple countries
Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi, an Iraqi national with ties to Kata'ib Hizballah, the Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps, and Hezbollah, has been charged with coordinating at least 18 terrorist attacks in Europe and plotting attacks in the United States. According to federal prosecutors, al-Saadi allegedly carried out firebombings and stabbings targeting U.S. and Israeli interests, and coordinated plans to attack Jewish institutions in America, framing these actions as retaliation for the U.S. and Israeli military conflict involving Iran.
