Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiyya (HAYI)

Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiyya (HAYI), also known as the Movement of the Companions of the Right Hand of Islam, is a pro-Iranian group. France's anti-terrorism prosecutor has indicated a suspicion that HAYI may be linked to a recently foiled attack targeting the Bank of America's offices in Paris. While the formal link has not yet been established, the group had reportedly posted a video on social media on March 23rd that targeted the bank. In response to threats against American banks, including Bank of America and Goldman Sachs, Citi bank placed its employees in Paris and Frankfurt on remote work as a precautionary measure. This development makes HAYI newsworthy due to its alleged connection to the foiled plot and the broader context of threats against financial institutions.
