The US Justice Department indicted dual Iraqi-Iranian national Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi on eight terrorism-related charges, accusing him of helping direct nearly 20 attacks and attempted attacks in Europe and the United States as an operative of Iraqi faction Kataib Hezbollah and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Several charges carry maximum penalties of 15 to 20 years in prison, while attempted transnational terrorism and conspiracy to bomb a public place carry potential life sentences. Still, the charges are allegations, and Al-Saadi is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
On April 30, Al-Saadi contacted an individual in the United States and asked whether that person knew someone who could attack the country, including by “burning” or “killing,” according to the department. He was detained abroad the following day, transferred into FBI custody on May 14, and brought to the Southern District of New York, and “evidence” recovered from his phone and social media accounts allegedly showed his role in planning, promoting, and filming attacks in Europe, including attacks against Jewish and US-linked targets.
Kataib Hezbollah, however, had denied any ties to Al-Saadi.
