The attack unfolded early on Friday local time in a precision strike
on two cars that were carrying Soleimani and Iraq-based PMF militiamen
who were picking him up from the airport. Soleimani had reportedly
just arrived to Baghdad on a flight from Syria. Airport logs show a
Cham Air flight arriving from Damascus at 12.34am Friday Baghdad time,
but it's unclear whether Soleimani was on that commercial flight or a
private charter. Four precision missiles struck the two black Hyundai
cars carrying Soleimani and his entourage, according to U.S.
officials. The cars were struck on an access road near the Baghdad
airport.

Two officials from the PMF said Soleimani's body was torn to pieces in
the attack, while they did not find the body of al-Muhandis.

A senior politician said Soleimani's body was identified by the ring
he wore. Photos from the scene show a hand with large ring that looks
identical to one Soleimani is seen wearing in old photos.

Local militia commander Abu Muntathar al-Hussaini told Reuters:

'Haj Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis were riding in one vehicle
when it was struck by two successive guided missiles launched from an
American helicopter while they were on their way from the arrivals
hall on the road that leads out of Baghdad Airport.'

He said the second vehicle was carrying bodyguards from the PMF and
was hit by one rocket.

While American forces did not make it clear how they had tracked
Soleimani's location, he is thought to be kept under near-constant
surveillance by US, Saudi and Israeli security forces.

The New York Times reported that Friday's attack drew upon a
combination of highly classified information from informants,
electronic intercepts, reconnaissance aircraft and other surveillance
techniques.



Funny how Trump refuses to intel from the CIA
and NSA showing Russia hacked the 2016 election but
he DOES believe them about tracking and killing
muslims he wants killed.
