Overview
- U.S. prosecutors say Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood al-Saadi is in U.S. custody after an arrest in Turkey and extradition to face terrorism charges.
- In the Netherlands, prosecutors tie him to blasts in Rotterdam and Amsterdam on March 13–15 and an attempted arson in Nijkerk on April 3, and police there have made initial arrests as other suspects are sought.
- Authorities also link him to attacks in Liège and London, including a synagogue explosion, fires that hit Jewish groups and ambulances, and a knife attack on two Jewish men.
- Intercepted calls cited by prosecutors reference the Ashab al-Yamin network, claim he ran teams across Europe, and describe requests for help to strike the United States and Canada.
- The indictment depicts him as a Kataib Hezbollah commander acting for Iran’s Revolutionary Guard, with photos of him alongside Qasem Soleimani offered as supporting evidence.
