“Hizbullah operatives caught in Baghdad”
By YAAKOV KATZ

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “According to media reports, the Hizbullah Brigades have been active for over a year in Iraq and like Hizbullah in Lebanon, the group is trained and financed by Iran, likely via the Hizbullah’s Al Kuds force, which was commanded by its chief operations officer Imad Mughniyeh who was assassinated in Damascus in February.

“The Hizbullah Brigades receive support from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Command for financing, weapons, training and guidance,” the Multi-National Force in Iraq said in a statement in response to a Jerusalem Post inquiry. “They have claimed responsibility for attacks against coalition forces and Iraqi Security Forces as early as late 2005.”

On videos that it has posted on the Internet, the Hizbullah Brigades group uses a logo very similar to the Lebanese Hizbullah flag, showing a raised arm holding a Kalashnikov assault rifle, although coalition forces said they were not sure of the nature of the relationship with the Lebanese Hizbullah.

This is not the first time that Hizbullah operatives have been captured in Iraq.”
