Two suspected Kata’ib Hezbollah associates nabbed in New Baghdad

BAGHDAD – In their continued degradation of the Kata’ib Hezbollah criminal network, Coalition forces picked up two suspected associates during operations Friday morning in New Baghdad.

Acting on intelligence tips, Coalition forces raided the home of a suspected Katai’b Hezbollah propaganda expert, believed to have uploaded more than 30 attack videos to the criminal ring’s now-defunct web site.

Coalition forces entered the suspect’s residence where they detained two of the wanted man’s brothers who are believed to be involved in his criminal enterprises.

Coalition forces have detained more than 15 suspected members of Kata’ib Hezbollah in the last two months. While Kata’ib Hezbollah is not part of Special Groups, it is similar in that it’s reported they receive support from Iran in the way of funding, logistics, and weapons such as improvised rocket assisted mortars. They are also believed to receive guidance or direction from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps – Quds Force.
