Neither Al-Muhandes nor Soleimani were among those who killed in the attack at #Baghdad airport, but the status of Lebanese Hezbollah official Muhammad al-Kawtharani and another unknown guest has not yet been confirmed.

Muhammad Kawtharani

Muhammad Kawtharani was identified by Treasury as “the individual in charge of Hezbollah’s Iraq activities.” According to Treasury, Kawtharani, a member of the terror group’s Political Council, was involved in providing “training, funding, political, and logistical support to Iraqi Shi’a insurgent groups.” During the course of the Syrian civil war, Kawtharani has helped facilitate the movement of “fighters to Syria to support the Assad regime.”

Treasury added that Kawtharani was involved in securing the release of Hezbollah’s Ali Musa Daqduq, who was responsible for a number of attacks on coalition forces in Iraq. Daqduq, a Hezbollah commander, was himself designated by the Treasury Department in November 2012.
