Biography
Born in Baghdad in 1980, Al-Saeedi grew up in the neighborhood of Al-Kamaliyah [ar] in a poor family from the Diyala Governorate.[5] He was a member of the Sadrist Movement until his arrest by the Multi-National Force in 2011 and joined Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq and Harakat Hezbollah al-Nujaba upon his release. During the Second War in Iraq, he was a commander in Al Tarmia in the northern suburbs of Baghdad. He then reached an important apparatus with the Iran-backed Popular Mobilization Forces in the Baghdad Belts region.[6][7] He was responsible for Hezbollah al-Nujaba’s attacks against American military bases in Iraq and Syria.[8]
Mushtaq Talib Al-Saeedi was assassinated in a targeted U.S. drone strike in Baghdad on 4 January 2024, at the age of 43.[9][8]
