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.”
