![]() The U.S. army noted the forces targeted an alleged Kata'ib Hezbollah financier. "The wanted man is believed to be a key figure in the administration of the criminal group," the announcement pointed out. The statement highlighted the U.S. forces arresting the suspects "found multiple weapons and more than $60,000 in American and Iranian currency at the residence." Kata'ib Hezbollah is Shiite group that broke away from loyalty to Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr when the latter announced a ceasefire in August 2007. The U.S. army believes the group receives support from Iran in the way of funding, logistics, and weapons. |
