JAKARTA - An investigative report related to the assassination of Iran's top general Qassem Soleimani, Commander of Iran's Revolutionary Guard Quds Brigade, an elite force under Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps on January 3, 2020.

It was revealed there was a United States special forces war in this event. Unabashedly, the so-called involved are several snipers or snipers of US special forces.

Soleimani was killed in a drone strike on the car he was riding in outside Baghdad International Airport, Iraq, shortly after he arrived in the country. The incident almost sparked an open war between Iran and the United States.

Reporting By The National News from Yahoo News On Monday, May 10, in a leaked investigative report, US special forces officials acted as maintenance staff at Baghdad Airport to coordinate the airstrike that killed Qassem Soleimani.

They were joined on the ground by Kurdish special forces soldiers and aided by remote assistance from telephone tracking experts in Israel, he said.

It said three teams of snipers from delta forces, an elite US army unit, disguised as airport workers, were waiting to show the vehicle that would meet with Soleimani. Suleimani arrived by flight from the Syrian capital, Damascus.

"US special forces are 600 to 900 meters from the kill zone, an access road from the airport established to track the position of general (Soleimani) as he leaves the airport", the report said, based on interviews with 15 active and stopped US officials.

"Members of the Counter-Terrorism Group (CTG), an elite Kurdish unit in northern Iraq, posed as baggage guards and ground crews, and helped identify targets", the report continued.

A member of the group is said to have guided the plane to a halt on the runway, while three US drones circled overhead, armed with Hellfire-type air-to-ground missiles.

CTG denied being involved in the operation. It said Soleimani was a close friend of the late Kurdish politician Jalal Talabani, the former president of Iraq. And, Kurdish special forces have fought on the same front line as Suleimani against ISIS.

The report said a US sniper was equipped with a camera with enlarged binoculars that broadcast live conditions at the airport, to the US Embassy in Baghdad, where Delta Army commanders are based with support staff.

Separately, in Tel Aviv, it is claimed, the US Special Operations Command liaison is working with Israel to help track Soleimani's cellphone pattern.

"The Israelis, who had access to Suleimani's number, gave it to an American, who tracked his phone to Baghdad," the report said.

Members of a secret U.S. Army unit known as Task Force Orange were also in Baghdad that night, according to a US military official. It provides a close-range intelligence expert signal for the tactical part of the operation.

The report said that when two vehicles moved into the kill zone, two Hellfire missiles hit Soleimani's vehicle, killing him instantly.

The driver of the second vehicle tried to escape but stopped within 100 meters when shot by a Delta Force sniper. A third Hellfire missile then destroyed the vehicle, according to the report.

Suleimani was killed along with eight others, including the deputy head of Iraq's powerful Hashed Al Shaabi paramilitary force, Abu Mahdi Al Muhandis.

The report discusses discussions by the administration of former President Donald Trump over the assassination of Iranian generals and other high-ranking officials and Iranian proxies.

Soleimani's killing follows an escalation between Iranian-backed Iraqi militias and coalition forces in Iraq, including the deaths of several US soldiers in December 2019.

Iran responded to the killing with a barrage of missiles at the Iraqi-US joint air base at Al Asad in western Iraq. As a result, about 100 US soldiers suffered what is known as a traumatic brain injury, caused by a missile shock wave.
