Biography
Born in Baghdad in 1980, Al-Saeedi grew up in the neighborhood of Al-Kamaliyah in a poor family from Diyala Governorate.[4] 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 Popular Mobilization Forced in the "Baghdad belt".[5][6] He then assisted in the orchestration of the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel and was accused of attacking American troops in Iraq during this time.
