Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed
Shi'ite Islamist group, has not previously announced any role in the
conflict in Iraq, which escalated last month when radical Sunni
militants seized large areas of territory from the Shi'ite-led
government in Baghdad.
Four
sources in Lebanon named the Hezbollah commander as Ibrahim al-Haj, a
technical specialist involved in training. They said he was "martyred"
in a battle near Mosul, a city in northern Iraq seized from government
control last month by an al Qaeda offshoot known as the Islamic State.
ISIS vs Hezbollah? I wonder who gets martyred when they use suicide bombers against one another?
