The Iraqi judiciary issued an arrest warrant for the son of the Secretary-General of the Iraqi Hezbollah, Abu Hussein Al-Humaidawi, accusing him of leading an armed group to terrorize people and undermine security.

A memorandum issued by the judicial investigator's office in Iraq, specialized in combating terrorism, dated July 5, 2026, revealed that an arrest order was issued against a person named Hussein Mohsen Ahmed Faraj Al-Humaidawi, born in 1994, residing in the Al-Baladiyat area of the capital Baghdad.

According to the memorandum, the accused is wanted on charges of leading an armed group that engages in acts of violence and intimidation, with the aim of undermining the security and stability of the country, instilling fear among citizens, and endangering their lives, freedoms, and properties. The memorandum specified the charges against him, based on the provisions of the Iraqi Anti-Terrorism Law No. (13) of 2005, relying on articles two and four of it.

Who is Abu Hussein Al-Humaidawi?

The accused is the son of the Secretary-General of the Hezbollah Brigades in Iraq, Ahmed Mohsen Faraj Al-Humaidawi, known as "Abu Hussein Al-Humaidawi." Ahmed Mohsen Faraj Al-Humaidawi, nicknamed "Abu Hussein," is known as the Secretary-General of the Iraqi Hezbollah Brigades, one of the prominent armed factions allied with Iran in Iraq. He took over the leadership of the organization after the killing of its founder and previous Secretary-General, Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis, in the American strike near Baghdad Airport in January 2020.

The brigades are part of a network of armed factions within the Iraqi security and political scene and have close ties with Iran. They have been accused by the U.S. of being behind attacks targeting American interests in Iraq, while Washington offered a reward of up to 10 million dollars in April 2026 for information about Al-Humaidawi.
