Aqil's replacement as Radwan force was trained in Iran
Good to know.
[Ynet] According to the Al-Hadath network in Saudi Arabia, Ibrahim Aqil, who was killed on Friday in Beirut along with the top commanders of Hezbollah's elite Radwan unit, will be replaced by his deputy - Ali Reda Abbas. Ali Mussa Daqduq, who previously established a Hezbollah-operated unit on the Syrian Golan Heights will act as his second in command. His son was killed there in an Israeli airstrike.

According to the Saudi outlet, Abbas who is known as Abu Hussein Barish will be named the new commander of the Radwan Force.

...Over the years Abbas held numerous military positions, was trained in Iran and was one of Hezbollah's notable operations officers in southern Lebanon.

Al-Daqduq, was accused of kidnapping and killing five American soldiers in Karbala, Iraq in 2007. He returned to Lebanon after being released from prison in 2012 after an Iraqi court acquitted him of involvement in those crimes.
Released not because he didn’t do it, perhaps, but because he has friends in high Iranian places.

#1 "Abbas who is known as Abu Hussein Barish..." It is interesting that that the Al Qaeda founding in Khost, Afghanistan in August 1988 renamed its Sunni Muslim founders and leaders with the nom de guerre Abu (usually followed by a location or something of personal significance). It seems that the Shiite have followed this practice, proving once again thier position as junior grade Muslims.
