Hadi Al Ameri, Head of Badr Militia, is Iran's First Man in Iraq

Al Malaf website – Amman – Special – Badr and the Supreme Council are financially and organizationally under the Iranian Army General Staff. Their monthly budget is 3 million dollars.

Al Malaf Net has obtained very important documents that disclose some aspects of the Iranian security, intelligence and military interference in Iraq through its most significant allies on the Iraqi arena, The Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution and its affiliated militia (Badr Organization). The documents obtained by Al Malaf Net mainly speak about the role played by Hadi Al Ameri, head of the Shiite Badr Militia, who is also heading the Integrity Committee in the Iraq Parliament.

It is well-known that the leaders of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution, with its military wing (Badr Brigade) were based in Iran during the years, preceding the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime. They used to receive support and orders from the Iranian security authorities.

During the past two years, many Iraqi patriotic politicians have been talking about the Iranian intervention in the Iraqi affairs through the council and Badr militia. These politicians were accused on behalf of Iran and its allies that they were agents for the United States. The serial of the issue of such penetration and the talk about it is still continuous. A few days ago, Al Janabi Clan has accused Iran, and what it called as Iranian agents in the Iraqi Interior Ministry of being behind the assassination of the lawyer Sa'dun Al Janabi, the lawyer of one of the assistants of ousted Iraqi president. Approximately two months ago, a scandal was launched about the smuggling of engines of the Iraqi MiG-29 planes in a garage belonging to Badr Organization and that they were on their way to be exported to Iran, in addition to the exportation of many equipments of the military industries council through the borders to Iran. Moreover, organizations of Islamic and humanitarian names have spread in Iraqi southern cities, which many press and security reports state that they are run on behalf of the Iranian intelligence "Ettelaat". Al Janabi clan has also confirmed the existence of a floor in the Interior Ministry, which is under the control of the Iranian intelligence "Ettelaat", where active Sunni elements are tortured and murdered. This accusation has urged the British ambassador in Baghdad to demand Al Ja'fari's government to investigate on this issue. In addition, there are operations of exporting great quantities of weapons to Iraq, the entry of large numbers of Ettelaat and Revolutionary Guards elements to Iraq, and the suspicious and dangerous flow of Iranian drugs to a country that has not known this "epidemic" in the past.

Reports coming from Iran state that Iran is the one behind the programmed operations of kidnap and assassination targeting elements opposing it, who are mainly Sunnis. These operations are executed by persons dressed in "police uniform and riding vehicles belonging to the interior ministry.' The accusations in this regard are numerous and the list of those assassinated or kidnapped is full, the most prominent of whom is the lawyer Sa'dun Al Janabi and Mohamed Awad Al Bandar, the official in the former regime, who is currently detained, on behalf of the multinational alliance forces.

With regard to understanding the nature of the Iranian role in Iraq, several security and press reports stress Hadi Al Ameri, the most prominent identity in this equation, who possesses all the keys relating to the connections with Iran and is the in charge of the strongest security authority in Iraq at present; Badr Organization.

Who is Abu Hassan Al Ameri?

Hadi Farhan Abdullah Al Ameri, known as "Abu Hassan Al Ameri", is currently leading Badr Organization and is one of the figures that are directly connected to the Iranian Al Quds Brigade.
Al Ameri's journey started with the Shiite opposition, by the beginning of the 80s, when he left Iraq to Jordan, where he remained for a few days before moving to Syria. In Syria, he contacted the Supreme Council and he was transported to Iran. He spent all the following years there.

Al Ameri holds the Iranian nationality under the name of Hassan Ameri and his wife is Iranian. He usually visits Iran and meets with Qassem Sulaimani, the head of Al Quds Brigade, under the Iranian guard forces, on a regular basis.

While being in Iran, Al Ameri played a role in torturing the Iraqi prisoners, who were captured by Iran during the Iraqi-Iranian war. Prisoners who returned from there accuse him of being the cruelest against them. This role helped him to reach the status that he occupies in the eyes of the Iranians.

In 1986, Abu Hassan joined Badr Brigade and was enrolled in the Higher 'Dafos' Course in the Command and General Staff College in Imam Al Hussein University, under the Iranian guard forces. His rank is equivalent to a Brigadier General in the revolutionary guard.

During the past two years, Abu Al Hassan Al Ameri, Abu Hassan Al Ameri maintained his connections with Al Quds Brigade. His salary is regularly sent from Iran to his account no. 3014 as a member in Al Quds Brigade. The number of his file in Al Quds Brigade pay roll is 10074. He receives more tan 2 million and 600 thousand Iranian riyals a month, which is equivalent to the salary of a Brigadier General in the Iranian revolutionary guard.

Abu Hassan had contacts in Iran with the top command in Al Quds Brigade, such as Qassem Sulaimani and Qa'ani, commander of the Brigade and his deputy, in addition to the guard Brigadier General Hamed, chief of the intelligence of Al Quds Brigade, Kareem, head of the operations department in Al Quds Brigade, the guard Brigadier General Irej Masjedi, the guard Brigadier General Ahmed Faruzenda, the guard Brigadier General Mohamed Ja'fari, the chief of staffs of the guard forces and the other commanders of the guard forces. He used to meet with them and receive his orders directly from the guard Brigadier General Qassem Sulaimani, Masjedi and Ja'fari.

During the fall of the former regime, he was accompanied with the commanders of Zafr Base, under Ramadan Base, when he entered the city of Al Imara for the first time through Mahran borders station.

Al Malaf Net has sufficient information that clearly state that Abu Hassan submits security reports on the conditions in Iraq to Qassem Sulaimani during each visit he makes to Iran.

On February 20, 2002, he went to Kermanshah through Al Kut. He participated in meetings with Al Quds Brigade. On February 30, 2002, he participated with Abu Zarr Al Khalesi, who arrived at Kermanshah through Baqubah, a day earlier, to participate in a meeting with Al Quds Brigade, under the guard forces, and receive the guidelines and directions from the guard Brigadier General Ja'fari.

The information also states that on February 28, 2003, he participated in a meeting with the commanders of Fajr Base in Al Ahwaz City and in January 2005, he met with the commanders of Al Quds Brigade at a borders station.

Badr Forces, under the Supreme Council for the Islamic revolution
Abu Hassan Al Ameri, a high-ranking member in the Central Committee of the institution, known as the Central Authority, which is the biggest security-military organization in Iraq that plans and executes tens of military and security operations against Iran's opposers in various Iraqi cities, on a daily basis. He works directly under the command of Abdel Aziz Al Hakim.

The Central Authority receives its Fatwas for the assassination operations directly for Khamenei office. Targets are specified in coordination with the command of the Iranian Ramadan Base. Hence, any agreed upon operation is executed. The Central Authority has 7 main members, who are currently officials at the interior ministry or the Iraqi police, according to the reports.

The security reports, which were disclosed by knowledgeable political sources to Al Malaf Net in Amman, state that among the new security tasks that Badr Organization was assigned to achieve, while the Iraqi parliamentary elections are approaching, is the physical liquidation of the opposers of the Iranian regime, or assassinating them politically and spiritually through distorting their image in the Iraqi street by fabricating false stories that suggest doubt to their patriotism or life history, or accusing them of corruption, etc.

The same documents state that Hadi Al Ameri receives a sum of 3 million dollars a month as salaries for the affiliates of Badr Brigade all over Iraq, in addition to other sums that are sent for executing terrorist-intelligence operations and activities by Badr Brigade. This is executed through delegating the financial official of Badr organization to Iran and carrying the sum into Iraq.

Paying the expenses and salaries of the members of Badr Organization and the Supreme Council for the Islamic revolution, on behalf of Al Quds force, under the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Brigade

In reference to the confidential information that we obtained about Al Quds Force, under the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Brigade, during the past two and half years since the fall of the former Iraqi government, the office of Khamenei and Al Quds Force has continued to pay the salaries of the members of Badr Organization, the Supreme Council and the necessary expenses in Iraq. It did not specify a time for stopping paying such money. The last portion of the organization and council salaries were paid until last June.

It is worth mentioning that the documents obtained from Iran clearly show the financial relations between Badr Organization and the Supreme Council with the Iranian regime, two years after their return to Iraq.

Documents prove that the Supreme Council is affiliated to the Iranian regime and include the budget of the Supreme Council for the Islamic revolution in Iraq.

The first document includes a message sent by the Supreme Council for the Islamic revolution in Iraq to Al Nasr Command Committee. The second document states the estimation of the budget of the Supreme Council for the fiscal year 1382, which corresponds to 2003 AD.

Due to the financial system in the Iranian armed forces, which pays the budget in Iranian hard currency (toman) and paying the member of the Supreme Council for the Islamic revolution in Iraq in dollars, it shows a difference in the sums, when converting the Iranian currency into dollars. This was the topic of the message sent on behalf of the supreme council, in which it demanded Al Nasr Command to make up for the difference. It is worth mentioning that there are three types of currencies for exchange in Iran.

Additional information states that the financial affairs official in the Supreme council for the Islamic revolution in Iraq has traveled to Iran, one day after sending the message, i.e. on 12/05/2003. He attended a meeting with Colonel Haras Gholami, an official in the planning and programming department (the Budget and Considerations Administration) in the headquarters of the General Command of the Iranian Armed Forces. The two of them have solved the dilemma of the financial differences. The translation of the message as we received it with all its linguistic mistakes is as follows:
