    Baghdad (AP) — Iraqi TV and three Iraqi officials officials said Friday that Iranian Gen. Qassim Soleimani, the head of Iran’s elite Quds Force, has been killed in an airstrike at Baghdad’s international airport.

    The officials said the strike also killed Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, the deputy commander of Iran-backed militias known as the Popular Mobilization Forces.

    Still breaking but this is a big deal if true-the US just took out the leaders of Iran's terrorist groups in Iraq.

    This comes just a few days after these groups organized attacks on the US embassy/consulate and were openly seen mixing in with the crowds.

    Ha you beat me by a minute!

    This is big, Iranian leadership in Iraq was just decapitated.

    Quds is responsible for all terrorist/military activity outside of Iran.

    There is a photo out there of a hand, with a distinctive ring he was known to wear.

    This is what law enforcement calls a "good kill". This guy was Yasser Arafat on steroids.

    He's killed thousands of Americans. Thank you, Trump!

    Dearborn Michigan has the largest population of shiites outside of the ME.

    Hopefully our first responders are safe and on the lookout.

    "...the head of Iran’s elite Quds Force, has been killed in an airstrike at Baghdad’s international airport."

    Gee I wonder how he ended up there? Must have taken a wrong turn at Albuquerque.

    Good question. I'm guessing the NYT will go with something along the lines of "Distinguished Iranian General perishes in service to his nation".

    The left wing media will probably say the threat of retaliation puts Americans in danger worldwide.

    Yep we shouldn't have ambushed the IJN at Midway because they may have retaliated.

    They're reporting on this now. They had to get 20 minutes of impeachment propaganda out of the way first.

    CNN says Iran will respond. Surprisingly, their "experts" called this guy a terrorist. That was shocking. But now they're saying Iraq could explode into a civil war ... Trump's fault. Trump shouldn't have killed the guy who has killed thousands of Americans.
