Iranian regime operative who directed wave of Ashab al Yamin attacks on Jewish targets indicted
Kata’ib Hezbollah commander Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, who helped orchestrate attacks on Jewish and Israeli sites across Europe in the name of Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia (HAYI), was indicted on eight charges for attempted terrorist attacks against Jewish targets across the world, the US Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation announced on Thursday.
Originally indicted with six counts in a complaint on May 15, the Iraqi and Iranian national was charged on Thursday with conspiring to provide material support to Kata’ib Hezbollah and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), conspiring to and providing material support for acts of terrorism, attempted acts of transnational terrorism, conspiring to bomb a public site, property destruction by means of fire or explosives, and terrorism.
The 32-year-old was allegedly involved in almost 20 attacks and plots in Europe and North America under the name of the purportedly new terrorist group HAYI, which the DoJ said was actually a front for the Iranian proxy Kata’ib Hezbollah. The plots included plans to carry out attacks against a New York City synagogue earlier this year.
