Abu Hussein al-Hamidawi, the Secretary-General of the Iran-backed Iraqi militia Kata'ib Hezbollah, has made a public appearance at a Victory March in Karbala. This comes days after the United States reportedly placed a $10 million bounty for information leading to his capture. His open attendance at the event is a direct challenge to U.S. efforts to target the leadership of Iranian proxy groups in Iraq.
