Nujaba are led by Akram Al Kabi who the US considers a terrorist for his role in fighting US and UK troops during the 8-year occupation.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m driven to several locations and told to change cars each time before finally being driven to a compound in Baghdad, behind several layers of checkpoints manned by young fighters, no older than 21 or 22.<\/p>\n<p>We go in and wait for Mousawi to arrive. He arrives after about 10 minutes, but even so apologizes for keeping us waiting.<\/p>\n<p>Mousawi is a young man in his early 30s. His eyes betray his youthfulness and he is jovial and welcoming. He is one of the more interesting of the many people I have met during my journey. He is a cultured and educated man, quoting the first Shia leader Imam Ali (<em>&#8220;People are either your brothers in religion or your equals in humanity&#8221;<\/em>), along with Ghandi (<em>&#8220;I learnt from Hussain how to attain victory while being oppressed&#8221;<\/em>) and also, as he complained bitterly about the woes of his favorite team Real Madrid, Jose Mourinho (\u2018A team with Lionel Messi is unstoppable\u2019).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rt.com\/op-ed\/264057-iraq-usa-terrorists-honor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/rael.maitreya\/posts\/10153367788834345\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RAEL&#8217;S COMMENT:\u00a0 They are right!
