U.S. offers $10 million for info on Iraqi militia leader

The U.S. State Department is offering a $10 million reward for information on Ahmad al-Hamidawi, the leader of Kata’ib Hezbollah.

The State Department said in a post on X Tuesday that the Iran-backed militia is “responsible for attacks on U.S. diplomatic facilities in Iraq, the kidnapping of U.S. citizens, and the killing of innocent Iraqi civilians.”

“Help us stop the violence. Help us stop al-Hamidawi. Send us your tip,” the State Department said.

Kata’ib Hezbollah kidnapped American journalist Shelly Kittleson in Iraq two weeks ago. She was freed a week later.
