Kataib Hezbollah Seeks Weapons Amid Disarmament Talks in Iraq
Kataib Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed militia in Iraq, has expressed interest in acquiring weapons from other militias that have decided to disarm. This development comes as Kataib Hezbollah, part of the Popular Mobilization Forces, continues to operate both as a government-paid entity and an independent militia. The group, designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the U.S., has been involved in various violent incidents, including the kidnapping of U.S. citizens and attacks on American personnel. Despite the spotlight on its activities, Kataib Hezbollah has welcomed the disarmament of non-resistance aligned militias, indicating a willingness to purchase their weapons. The group claims this move is part of its duty to jihad and aims to enhance security and stability in Iraq.
