This is CBS Eye on the World.

Here's John Batchelor.

I welcome Bill Rajo, Senior Fellow Foundation for the Defense of Democracies.

He keeps the Long War Journal, a report that is helpful to understand the scale of the combat

in the UMA, these last decades.

Ali Musa Dakh, K-I-A.

Bill, a very good evening to you.

Dukuk is someone who can link us to Iraq, to Iran, to Lebanon, to the war in Israel, and to al-Qaeda.

All of those things can be mixed together.

Who was he and who killed him?

Good evening to you.

Good evening, John.

Yeah, Ali Moussatakuk. He's been at the top, probably in the top five of our,

of the men we needed to take out for the past decade and a half.

He is a notorious terrorist. He was a basically what you would describe as Hezbollah special forces in 2000 or before

2005, but he arrived in Iraq in 2005 at the behest of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

And he, along with Qasem Soleimani, the former head of the IRGC.

They were tasked with building out the Shia militias from the Madi army and expanding them

and making them into entities like Hezbollah.

So just as a quick understanding, Lebanon, a country in about 4 to 5 million people.

You know, Hezbollah is the predominant group, and it has a Shia population of around 2, 2.5 million people to recruit from.

Iraq, a country of 36 million, an estimate, about 60% Shia.
