More Iranian militia types are in the news, sad to say.
Even worse, they're not doing their thing on their home turf - they're in the export business.

Why anyone wants to coddle the Iranian regime, thinking it's going to insulate them from thes
e maniacs, I have no idea.
Suicidal empaths never learn, even as they get picked off standing next to each other.
A commander of an Iranian-backed militia has been charged with plotting to attack Jewish sites in the United States, including a synagogue in New York, and carrying out attacks in Europe as part of a broader campaign of retaliation by Iran since the war began in February.
A criminal complaint unsealed on Friday accused the commander, Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi, of planning at least 20 attacks in Europe and Canada since late February. Mr. al-Saadi was detained in Turkey sometime recently and handed over to U.S. authorities, Mr. al-Saadi’s lawyer said in federal court in Manhattan on Friday.
Mr. al-Saadi, according to the complaint, is a commander of Kataib Hezbollah, an Iraqi militia that is a proxy for Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corp and has helped Tehran project power across the region, including through attacks on American forces and diplomatic targets.

These are vile, ruthless, soulless operators, and when he was still in one piece, they were Suleimani's boys.
...From its inception, the militia has been closely tied to Iran’s Quds Force — the overseas arm of the powerful Revolutionary Guards. It made evicting U.S. forces from Iraq a primary focus. Kataib Hezbollah’s repeated attacks on U.S. Army posts in Iraq and Syria over the years contributed to Washington’s decision in 2009 to designate it as a foreign terrorist organization.
The complaint says that Mr. al-Saadi planned to kill Americans and Jews in Los Angeles and that he had started planning an attack on a synagogue in New York City. As a leader of Kataib Hezbollah, Mr. al-Saadi worked with Maj. Gen. Qassim Suleimani, the head of Iran’s security machinery, according to the complaint. The U.S. military killed Mr. Suleimani in a strike in 2020.
There have already been attacks in Europe, and two in Canada. Al-Saadi was reportedly soliciting all the help he could get - and stirring up all the anger to encourage it - to take his terror road show to the States.xxxxxxxxxx

Thank God this administration is proactively going after these guys, unlike the Europeans, where hunting their own citizens seems to be the priority.
Well done.
Commentary:
“Prosecutors say he is a leader of Kataib Hezbollah, an Iraqi militia with ties to Iran”
So he should be tried before a Military Court Martial. Why are they fvçking around with the courts? This is just stupid beyond belief
Was he wearing a recognized military uniform, carrying a weapon openly? No! Then he is by definition an Unlawful Enemy Combatant under American law. Enemy Alien. Just shoot the SOB and call it a day.
Meanwhile, the Democrat party has experienced significant internal divisions and public criticism over its handling of rising racism and antisemitism and anti-Israel demonstrations.
