Daily Star - Iraq blocks extradition for Hezbollah commander, August 3 2012

BAGHDAD: An Iraqi court has rejected a request to send a Hezbollah commander to the United States for trial, a decision that apparently ends the Obama administration’s efforts to prosecute the Lebanese man held in Iraq for the 2007 killings of five American soldiers. The U.S. believes Ali Moussa Daqduq is a top threat to Americans in the Middle East, and had asked Baghdad to extradite him even before two Iraqi courts found him not guilty of masterminding the 2007 raid on an American military base in the holy Shiite city of Karbala. But the July 30 decision by the Iraqi central criminal court ordered that Daqduq be freed immediately. It also made it clear that Iraq believes the legal case against him is over.
