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.
