Шаблон:Infobox person Azhar al-Dulaymi was the mastermind of the January 20 attack in Karbala where fighters speaking English, wearing US military uniforms and carrying American weapons attacked a joint military command headquarters, leaving five US soldiers dead.[1][2] Al-Dulaimi was believed to be a member of the Khazali Network, a Mahdi Army faction.[3] He was tracked down and killed by U.S. forces on May 19, 2007, in Sadr City.[4] The U.S. military had received intelligence reports that al-Dulaimi received training and funding from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and the Hezbollah.[4]

On October 22, 2010, The New York Times reported that in the Iraq War documents leak, US intelligence analysts described why they thought al-Dulaimi had been trained in the "dark arts of paramilitary operation" by Iran and Hezbollah.[5]

Dulaymi reportedly obtained his training from Hizballah operatives near Qom, Iran, who were under the supervision of Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force (IRGC-QF) officers in July 2006.

On October 25, 2010, the Foreign Policy Journal published an article skeptical of the conclusions The New York Times had drawn from the leaked documents.[6]

According to Kimberly Kagan's The Surge: A Military History Dulaimi was "the executor of the Ministry of Health and Karbala attacks".[7] Bill Roggio, writing in the Long War Journal also attributed an attack on the Karbala Provincial Joint Coordination Center to Dulaimi.[8][9]

According to Mark Urban's book on Special Forces in Iraq, Task Force Black, documents seized on March 20, 2007, when Qais Khazali and Ali Musa Daqduq were captured, described al-Dulaimi's role in the Karbala attack and provided sufficient information for the raid where al-Dulaimi died.[10]
