Iraqi court orders release of Hezbollah prisoner
2012-05-07
A court in Iraq found a Hezbollah commander accused of killing U.S. troops in 2007 not guilty for lack of evidence and ruled that he be set free.

Terror experts have said Daqduq, a Lebanese commander for Hezbollah, is among "the worst of the worst" terrorists militants and would remain a severe threat to Americans if freed. U.S. officials say he trained Shiite militias in Iraq and helped to plan the 2007 killing of four American soldiers in Karbala.

Daqduq was caught in late 2007 and held in U.S. custody in Iraq as authorities tried to decide where to charge him. When the American military withdrew from Iraq late in December, U.S. officials were forced to hand over Daqduq to Iraqi authorities.
Too bad he didn't die of 'acute cirrhosis' while in custody...
