International Sting Operation Disrupts Global Terror Campaign Linked to Iran

An international sting operation led to the arrest of Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi, an alleged senior Kata'ib Hezbollah commander accused of coordinating nearly 20 attacks—including firebombings, stabbings, and a drive-by shooting—across Western Europe, Canada, and the U.S.; authorities allege he used encrypted messaging and hawala networks to recruit and finance local proxies, and his capture disrupted the coordinated proxy terror campaign targeting American and Jewish interests.
