Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi, a 32-year-old commander within the Iraqi terrorist group Kata’ib Hizballah, has been arrested and charged with providing material support to foreign terrorist organizations and directing a wave of international attacks.

According to a Department of Justice (DOJ) complaint unsealed in Manhattan federal court, Al-Saadi worked closely with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to coordinate at least 18 terrorist attacks and attempted attacks in Europe and two in Canada since March 2026.

The global plot expanded to American soil when Al-Saadi unwittingly attempted to orchestrate a synchronized bombing and arson campaign against prominent Jewish institutions in New York City, Los Angeles, and Scottsdale, Arizona.

He was reportedly apprehended in Turkey and transferred into FBI custody after sending a $3,000 cryptocurrency down payment to an undercover law enforcement officer to carry out the attack on a Manhattan synagogue, according to a complaint unsealed in federal court on Friday.
