7 years ago Obama handed him over to Iraqis, now he is - a Hezbollah terrorist with U.S. blood Posted: Mar 15th, 2019 - 12:01 pm
on his hands, now heads terror cell in Syria
Seven years after the Obama administration controversially handed over to Iraqi custody a veteran Hezbollah terrorist accused of executing Americans – only to see him released a year later – Israel says the wanted man now heads a Syria-based terror cell near its northern border.
According to the Israeli Defense Forces Ali Musa Daqduq, a Lebanese national, heads a terror cell comprised of Syrians, based on the Syrian side of the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights.
Israel vowed to prevent Iran and its Hezbollah proxy from operating against Israel from Syrian soil. In New York, its ambassador warned U.N. Security Council members that Israel “will not ignore the conversion of Syria and Lebanon to a military front against us and will act with force against the aggression from Tehran.”
Daqduq, who once served as a bodyguard to Hezbollah chief Hasan Nasrallah, was deployed to Iraq in 2005 as part of an Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Qods Force operation to work with Iraqi Shi’ite militia fighting U.S. troops.
On January 20, 2007, terrorists attacked the Provincial Joint Coordination Center in Karbala, killing an American soldier before abducting and subsequently murdering four more.
The U.S. military held Daqduq responsible for the attack. Two months later he was captured by British special forces in Basra, along with another terrorist working with the Qods Force, Iraqi national Qais Khazali.
According to the U.S. both men confirmed Qods Force involvement in the Karbala attack. Their arrest provided invaluable intelligence about the links between Iran, Hezbollah and Iraqi militia in the deadly fight against U.S. forces in Iraq.
