Coalition forces capture suspected Hezbolla Brigades propaganda expert (New Baghdad)
BAGHDAD – Coalition forces captured a suspected propaganda specialist of the Hezbollah Brigades early Monday morning in the New Baghdad district of Baghdad.
Based on intelligence information, Coalition forces targeted the location of a suspected propaganda expert affiliated with the Hezbollah Brigades in Iraq. Information taken from suspected criminals already in custody indicate that the man uploads web sites with imagery and video taken from attacks on Iraqi Security and Coalition forces. Reports indicate this is part of a propaganda effort in order to earn money and support from their Iranian financiers.
Coalition forces entered the targeted individual’s location without incident. Following questioning, the suspect’s wife told forces her husband was the wanted man, after which the man relented and was detained.
Intelligence indicates that Kata’ib Hezbollah or Hezbollah Brigades is an offshoot of Iranian-trained Special Groups.

Coalition forces target Al-Qaeda and affiliated extremists (Baghdad)
BAGHDAD – Coalition forces captured an alleged senior adviser for al-Qaeda in Iraq’s Mosul network and detained 10 additional suspects in two of Iraq’s largest cities, July 20 and 21.
An alleged AQI senior leader is in Coalition forces’ custody after an operation in Mosul on Monday. The alleged leader, who was detained with two additional suspects, is reportedly a senior adviser to the Mosul terrorist network. In that position, he is believed to conspire with other terrorist leaders to conduct attacks and impose extremist ideals on Iraqi civilians in Mosul.
In Baghdad on Monday, Coalition forces detained six suspected terrorists allegedly working with an extremist group that supports AQI’s propaganda network. A Sunday operation in Baghdad netted two men suspected of ties to a bombing cell that operates in the Northern Belt around the city.

“Hezbollah Brigades propaganda specialist captured in Baghdad”
By BILL ROGGIO

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Coalition special forces teams, likely the terrorist hunter-killer teams of Task Force 88, have captured a Hezbollah Brigades propaganda specialist during a raid in New Baghdad.
The propaganda specialist was positively identified by his wife after the raid, and he later admitted to his role in seeding websites with attack videos.
“The man uploads web sites with imagery and video taken from attacks on Iraqi Security and Coalition forces,” Multinational Forces Iraq reported in a press release. “Reports indicate this is part of a propaganda effort in order to earn money and support from their Iranian financiers.”
Little information is publicly available on the Hezbollah Brigades, or the Kata’ib Hezbollah. Multinational Forces Iraq indicates the group receives support from Iran and is an “offshoot of Iranian-trained Special Groups.”
The logo used by the Hezbollah Brigades is nearly an exact match of the one used by Lebanese Hezbollah, which is directly supported by Iran.”
