Asa'ib Ahl al-Haq (AAH; Arabic: عصائب أهل الحق Aṣaʾib ʾAhl al-Haqq, "League of the Righteous"), also known as the Khazali Network (Arabic: شبكة الخزعلي), is a radical Iraqi Shi'a political party and paramilitary organization active in the Iraqi insurgency and Syrian Civil War.[46][47] During the Iraq War it was known as Iraq's largest "Special Group" (the American term for Iranian-backed Shia paramilitaries in Iraq), and it is part of the Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) in the 41st, 42nd, and 43rd Brigades, cooperating with the Iraqi government in its fight against ISIS.[48]

AAH is funded, trained, equipped and guided by IRGC's Quds Force and Hezbollah.[49][50] Members of AAH, as part of PMF, receive Iraqi government salaries[citation needed] after the PMF units were officially integrated into Iraqi security forces in 2018.[citation needed]

AAH has claimed responsibility for over 6,000 attacks on U.S.-led Coalition forces between 2006 and 2011 seeking to drive U.S. forces out of Iraq.[51][52] The militia's main tactic was to plant IEDs along the roads used by U.S. forces. These lethal roadside bombs killed and wounded hundreds of Coalition troops. Other tactics include sniper attacks, kidnappings, rocket and RPG attacks. Since 2011, AAH has assassinated Iraqi political opponents, killed civilian protesters[unreliable source?], and continued attacks on U.S. diplomatic and military presence.[53] In 2017, AAH created a party with the same name.[54]

On 3 January 2020, the U.S. Department of State announced its intent to designate AAH a terrorist organization along with two of its leaders,[55] Qais al-Khazali and his brother Laith al-Khazali, who were designated Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGT).[56]
