Where Saddam Hussein Associate Was Found Hiding In America

Federal agents arrested a former top associate of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein in Michigan. 

Agents with Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) arrested Raad Alanbagi, who worked as an intelligence officer under Hussein. The arrest, announced on Sunday, was conducted by agents based out of Detroit. 

“HSI special agents arrested Raad Alanbagi after an HSI-led investigation uncovered information tying him to prior service as a high-ranking Iraqi intelligence officer during the Saddam Hussein era, HSI continues to safeguard our communities and national security,” Homeland Security Investigations announced on social media. 

Homeland Security Investigations focuses on cracking down on drug and weapons smuggling, cyber and financial crime, illegal technology exports and intellectual property crime, and child exploitation.

No other information was immediately available. It was unclear when Alanbagi entered the United States or how long he had been in the country. The Daily Wire reached out to the Department of Homeland Security for more information. 

The arrest appears to have taken place near Dearborn, home to the largest per capita Muslim population in the United States. Over 50% of the Detroit suburb’s residents have roots in the Middle East or North Africa. Recently, Dearborn’s city council refused to denounce Sharia law after a local Christian pastor confronted council members at a town hall meeting. 

“America, we have lost this city. This is a city that is no longer up under American laws; we are up under Sharia law. We will not have it anymore,” said pastor Lorenzo Sewell. “Enough is enough.”

Last month, the sheikh of a mosque in Dearborn Heights declared that Islam and the Shiite faith are “coming to America” and said its adherents would help “build America.”

“We will build America on the basis of moral civilization and Islam,” said Sheikh Ibrahim Yassine. “What they have is no civilization. It is nothing but worldly life, nothing but technology. For them, civilization means killing nations and plundering their resources, even if it means killing all the people.”

In Michigan, Democrat Abdul El-Sayed is running to become the first Muslim elected to the U.S. Senate. El-Sayed has previously promised to live his life in accordance with Sharia law and faced criticism for displaying a book on his shelf written by an Islamic scholar linked to the 1993 World Trade Center terrorist attack.
