Hezbollah Movement in Iraq

The Hezbollah Movement in Iraq is an Iraqi political party that is part of the United Iraqi Alliance coalition. It is not affiliated with the Lebanese group Hezbollah or Hezbollah al-Iraq, another Iraqi political party. Three of its workers were killed in Baghdad in December 2004. The party publishes the Al-Bayyna newspaper and is led by Hassan Al-Sari. Hezbollah originated as an underground anti-Saddam network. Unlike other anti-Saddam groups it remained based in Iraq, not setting up shop in Iran or the west.
