Iraqi Terror Accused Pleads Not Guilty

An Iraqi national charged with conspiring to support terrorism in Manhattan court denies all allegations, calling himself a “prisoner of war” and claiming U.S. actions endanger civilians. Accused of leading Iran-backed Kata’ib Hizballah and plotting 18 attacks across Europe—including synagogue stabbings and firebombings—he allegedly scouted U.S. Jewish targets and shared intelligence with undercover agents. His defense argues he served Iraq and was imprisoned in Turkey before FBI custody, possibly targeted for ties to Soleimani. Now facing extradition and international scrutiny, Al-Saadi remains jailed while seeking diplomatic contact. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
