According to the Gateway Pundit, HSI Detroit disclosed the arrest in a social media announcement, noting that investigators had uncovered ties between Alanbagi and Iraq’s intelligence network during Saddam’s rule. The agency stated, “HSI special agents arrested Raad Alanbagi after an HSI-led investigation uncovered information tying him to prior service as a high-ranking Iraqi intelligence officer during the Saddam Hussein era.”
Authorities have not released Alanbagi’s precise rank, his specific intelligence duties, his alleged activities, his immigration status, or the formal charges he may face. This lack of transparency leaves open critical questions about how an individual allegedly linked to Saddam’s notorious security apparatus was able to enter and remain in the United States.
