Hizbullah Commander Who Planned Attack on U.S. Soldiers Killed in Israeli Airstrike in Syria
(NBC News) Courtney Kube - A recent Israeli airstrike in Syria killed Ali Mussa Daqduq, a senior Hizbullah commander who helped plan a 2007 raid in which militants posing as an American security team killed five U.S. soldiers in Karbala during the Iraq War, a senior U.S. defense official said. Daqduq had been captured by U.S. forces but was later released by the Iraqi government, whose officials had assured the U.S. that they would prosecute him.
