High-level Popular Mobilization Forces leader Taleb Abbas Ali al-Saedi was shot dead late on Saturday in Karbala, a city about 62 miles southwest of Baghdad.

Local media reported that al-Saedi was 'assassinated' by unknown gunmen, but no further details about the shooters were immediately available.

Al-Saedi was the commander of the Karbala Brigades, a unit within the Iran-backed Shiite PMF umbrella group.

Bush was subject to the Dem congress in his Iraq war. Trump ain't letting that happen to him.

Concur...And he won't, I pray, turn his back on Iranian dissidents in, hopefully, a long and difficult ascent to insurrection. PDJT is off to a great start in an effort that should have begun decades ago.

IMHO. This is how the General should have been handled. Blow him up, then don’t say a word. This slowly release info as needed.

We’ll go with it.

I hope so.
But he doesn’t have the authority with a House that hates him, and the Iranian people, for a long campaign.

[PerConPat]

Let’s hope the House problem is corrected in 2020. There is no doubt that youthful Iranians are growing impatient with things. Only time will tell.

O, my gosh. More sad news for ilhan Omar. Quick, somebody cheer her up with stories of dead American soldiers.

[mrsmith]

And there’s the old Iranian people who remember the times before.
Yeah, let’s hope.

Been there, it's a real dump. Heavy Shi'ite population, so it's not likely sectarian violence. Competing Shi'ite militia types or maybe even Iraqi nationalists?

Yes, I recall a very sad incident some number of years ago where a young lady was shot right in the heart by some Iranian soldier or guard, for no reason, and she just bled out right there, it was on video, and it bothered me a lot.
