## Resource

An Iraqi national accused of plotting 18 attacks across Europe, including targeting Jewish communities and U.S. interests, pleaded not guilty in Manhattan federal court. Charged as a commander for Iran-backed Kata’ib Hizballah, he declared himself a “prisoner of war” during arraignment, while his defense claims he worked for Iraq and was held in Turkey before being handed to the FBI. Prosecutors allege he coordinated bombings, stabbings, and synagogue scouting in multiple countries, including Canada, with intent to harm Americans and Israelis. Held in solitary confinement, his legal team seeks contact with Iraqi officials and family, facing likely restrictions from U.S. authorities.
