Coalition Forces Strike Another Blow to Iranian Lethal Aid Network
Multi-National Force - Iraq ^ | MNF-I Press Desk

BAGHDAD — The Iranian-sponsored Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq network was further degraded today with the capture of six network criminals by Coalition forces early Sunday in Nasiriyah, in the Dhi Qar province.

Acting on intelligence information, Coalition forces targeted alleged Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq criminals in two separate operations in Nasiriyah.

At the first location, Coalition forces approached the location of the wanted men, and apprehended two individuals without incident. Four additional alleged Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq criminals were apprehended by Coalition forces at a second location in Nasiriyah.

Asaib al Haq is assessed to receive funding, training, weapons and even direction from the Iranian Quds Force, who have shown a desire to destabilize the legitimate government of Iraq. Iraqi and Coalition forces are working together to prevent Iranian lethal aid from endangering the Iraqi people.

I'm sure they must have. And I hope there is data that will enable further dismantling of this scum.
