The US State Department has announced a $10 million reward for information leading to the capture of a senior figure in an Iran-backed terror group operating in Iraq.

The bounty targets Ahmad al-Hamidawi, the secretary general of the Iran-backed Kataeb Hezbollah militia.

In a post on X alongside al-Hamidawi’s image, the State Department’s Rewards for Justice program stated that the group is “responsible for attacks on US diplomatic facilities in Iraq, the kidnapping of US citizens, and the killing of innocent Iraqi civilians.”

Last month, Kataeb Hezbollah abducted American journalist Shelly Kittleson in Baghdad, releasing her several days later on the condition that she leave the country. At the time, officials from the group told The Associated Press that the arrangement included the Iraqi government freeing several detained members of the militia.

The group was also behind the kidnapping of Israeli researcher Elizabeth Tsurkov, who was released last year after spending approximately two and a half years in captivity.
