A suspected commander tied to the Iran-backed irqui militia group Kata'ib Hezbollah has been brought to New York to face terrorism charges after federal authorities accused him of helping coordinate nearly 20 attacks targeting Americans and Jewish sites across the United States, Europe, and Canada.
According to a criminal complaint unsealed Friday in Manhattan federal court and published by The Wall Street Journal, 32-year-old Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi allegedly directed or supported a string of attacks linked to the ongoing conflict involving Iran, including planned operations against synagogues and Jewish centers in New York, Los Angeles and Arizona.
