Captured Hezbollah propaganda expert drops a dime on his own brother
BAGHDAD Coalition forces captured two suspected propaganda experts affiliated with Kataib Hezbollah during operations in the Mansour district of Baghdad Wednesday morning.
Acting on intelligence information, Coalition forces tracked down a suspected propaganda expert for Kataib Hezbollah. The individual is suspected of assisting the group with uploading videos of attacks against Iraqi and Coalition forces to websites.
Coalition forces entered what was assessed as the suspects residence. When the suspect identified himself to forces, his wife affirmed that he was the wanted individual. At the residence, forces found weapons and numerous pieces of computer equipment, including a laptop which had been most recently used to access a video sharing web site. This is how Coalition forces believe the propaganda videos are uploaded.
After questioning the suspect, he revealed the location of another propaganda expert wanted by Coalition forces, who happened to be the captured individuals brother. The captured man showed Coalition forces to his brothers house, which was in the same neighborhood. Forces moved in and detained that second suspect without incident.
