Welcoming the Arrest of Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi
President Trump has pledged that anyone who hurts Americans, or is planning to hurt Americans, will be found and held accountable.
Mohammad Baqer Saad Dawood Al-Saadi-accused of directing and urging others to attack U.S. interests, including by killing Americans-is now in U.S. custody and will face justice. The Department of State expresses gratitude to the interagency and partners who made this possible.
