Today, July 21, 2008, 5 hours ago | [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Bill Roggio) http://www.longwarjournal.org/archives/2008/07/hezbollah_brigades_p.php <http://www.longwarjournal.org/archives/2008/07/hezbollah_brigades_p.php> Hezbollah-brigades-logo.jpg <http://www.longwarjournal.org/images/Hezbollah-brigades-logo.jpg> Hezbollah Brigades' logo is nearly identical to that of Lebanese Hezbollah. Coalition special forces teams, likely the terrorist hunter-killer teams of Task Force 88, have captured a Hezbollah Brigades propaganda specialist during a raid in New Baghdad. The propaganda specialist was positively identified by his wife after the raid, and he later admitted to his role in seeding websites with attack videos. "The man uploads web sites with imagery and video taken from attacks on Iraqi Security and Coalition forces," Multinational Forces Iraq reported in a press release. "Reports indicate this is part of a propaganda effort in order to earn money and support from their Iranian financiers." Little information is publicly available on the Hezbollah Brigades, or the Kata'ib Hezbollah. Multinational Forces Iraq indicates the group receives support from Iran and is an "offshoot of Iranian-trained Special Groups." The logo used by the Hezbollah Brigades is nearly an exact match of the one used by Lebanese Hezbollah, which is directly supported by Iran. The logo shows an arm extended vertically, with the fist grasping an AK-47 assault rifle. US forces captured <http://www.longwarjournal.org/archives/2007/07/iran_hezbollah_train.php> Ali Mussa Daqduq inside Iraq in early 2007. Daqduq is a senior Hezbollah commander who was tasked with setting up the Mahdi Army Special Groups along the same lines The Hezbollah Brigades began uploading videos of attacks on US and Iraqi forces this year. The group has claimed responsibility for the July 8 improvised rocket-assisted mortar attack on <http://www.mnf-iraq.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=21064&Ite mid=128> Joint Security Station Ur in Sadr City [see video <http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=7cd_1215883093> ]. One US soldier and one interpreter were wounded after eight of the makeshift "flying IEDs" detonated near the outpost. Shia terror groups have launched a handful of IRAM attacks on US and Iraqi outposts in Baghdad. http://www.longwarjournal.org/archives/2008/06/mahdi_army_uses_flyi.php Hezbollah Brigades also posted video of an attack on a US <http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=df4_1214152240> patrol with an Iranian-supplied, armor-piercing, explosively formed projectile, or EFP. The capture of the Hezbollah Brigades propaganda expert is the latest in a <http://www.longwarjournal.org/archives/2008/07/iraqi_us_forces_keep.php> series of raids against Shia terrorists. Scores of Special Groups operatives have been captured over the past month, including senior leaders, weapons smugglers, financiers, trainers, and cell leaders.
