WASHINGTON?? The United States on Friday handed over its last detainee in Iraq to Iraqi authorities, after months of failed efforts by Washington to persuade Baghdad to allow his extradition for trial.
White House National Security Council spokesman Tommy Vietor said Iraq had given assurances that Ali Mussa Daqduq, suspected of orchestrating a 2007 kidnapping that resulted in the killing of five U.S. military personnel, would be tried for his crimes. U.S. officials would continue to discuss the case with Baghdad, Vietor said.
Daqduq is a Lebanese national that the U.S. suspected of being a Hezbollah operative working under orders from Iran.
