Liwa Assad Allah al-Ghalib fi al-Iraq wa al-Sham

The Conquering Lion of God Forces of Iraq and the Levant (Arabic: قوات أسد الله الغالب في العراق والشام, romanized: Quwwat Assad Allah al-Ghalib fi al-Iraq wa al-Sham), more commonly known by its original name (Arabic: لواء أسد الله الغالب في العراق والشام, romanized: Liwa Assad Allah al-Ghalib fi al-Iraq wa al-Sham) or simply LAAG,[c] is a Shia Muslim militant group operating throughout Iraq.

[13] This changed after June 2014, when ISIL conquered Mosul, as LAAG set up an Iraq branch,[7] named "Kata'ib Assad Allah al-Ghalib" and led by Sayyid Abu Ghayth al- Hassani.

[21] Meanwhile, LAAG's Iraqi units had joined forces with Harakat al-Abdal, and developed close links with the Badr Organization and Kata'ib Sayyid al-Shuhada.

At Qamhana, Abdallah al-Shaibani's men helped to stop Tahrir al-Sham's attack, and thereafter aided the government counter-offensive.

[17] By mid-2017, LAAG had come to be closely allied with another Shia Islamist militia, Liwa'a Zulfiqar, and even began to operate under the latter's name and logo.
