Abu Baqir al-Saadi is a prominent leader in the Iraqi Hezbollah Brigades. Washington says that he is responsible for planning and carrying out attacks against American forces, including an attack that targeted one of its bases in Jordanian territory.
The Popular Mobilization Forces in Iraq confirmed the killing of one of their leaders by an American march that targeted his car in the Al-Mashtal area northeast of Baghdad. The Al-Nujaba Movement in Iraq announced that the response to the bombing would be focused and the matter would not go unpunished. Since mid-October, American forces in Iraq and Syria have been subjected to more than 165 attacks.
