Iranian Commander Qassem Soleimani Killed by US Air Strike




A US air strike at Baghdad’s international airport killed Iran’s Mid-East commander, the IRGC’s Al Qods chief Gen. Qassem Soleimani, 62, and the Iranian-backed Iraqi PMU militia chief Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis. 

The raid was carried out by US assault helicopters early Friday, Jan. 03,2020 and is said to have killed seven people. US Mid East bases and Israel are on a high state of preparedness for repercussions from Iran.

The Popular Mobilization Units (PMU) is the umbrella organization for pro-Iranian Iraqi Shiite militias, including the Kata’ib Hezballah, which was assigned by Soleimani to carry out major assaults on US bases. Its leaders were at Baghdad airport to collect “high profile guests.”
