There has been another similar incident in the past year or two as well there in Ireland. Of course, Netherlands has had an incident or two as well.

Sounds like pros. Left very little trace. Mossad maybe?

Indeed.
Burned the car out to remove or minimize forensics.
There are always other plays running behind the curtains, while we are entertained by whats in front, and we only sometimes get a peek at those other dramas.

I don’t get it. They killed a hit man. What is to investigate?

Wasting Iranians, especially hitmen, is a crime?

Depends on if they wasted him to prevent a hit...

or if they wasted him to obstruct an investigation into a hit that he already carried out...

or if they did it out of an abundance of caution because he has a big mouth...

or if they did it because they could...

Or if they did it because he knocked up someone’s daughter.

Through the whole article, I would take the prospective that some gang war over drugs has erupted...this Iranian guy was brought in for business, and then got whacked. The cops are curious about the war (since no one is telling them much) and it’s probably going to be a few more gentlemen dead before this drug-war ends.

Hmmm....

Attempted Assassination Of Iranian Dissident In New York-First attack since 1981 in US · by SJackson · 5 replies Frontpagemagazine ^ | 5-8-18 | Kenneth R. Timmerman

If confirmed, this is the first time since 1981 that the Iranian regime has targeted a defector on U.S. soil. Iranian dissident Mansoor Osanloo, the exiled former head of the bus driver’s union in Tehran, was savagely attacked on Tuesday, May 1, while traveling on a PATH train into New York City, and left for dead. Multiple assailants sprayed him with a corrosive chemical, then clubbed him in the back of the neck with what appears to have been a tire iron. He lay in a coma for several days and required 17 stitches in his neck. I spoke with...

"There are currently more than 2000 Iranians living in Ireland. We are mostly living in Dublin and Cork, with most being involved in the running of our own business, or study. There are also a small number of political refugees. . .This website has been launched to give a voice to Iranians in Ireland and their Irish friends. We feel it is important to let people outside of Iran know what is happening in Iran, now that the true story cannot be followed thanks to the Iranian Government’s interference with the news media there. We are an apolitical organisation, and not connected to any group or movement that is currently operating in Iran. We welcome all people to join our peaceful campaign to make our voice heard in the spirit of human rights and human dignity.": Irish Iranians

I was kind of wondering the same thing, and even more so, since it’s an Iranian hit man. Let it go. 😁 I wouldn’t even say it was enough to be called a good start.

Ireland is crawling into bed with Iran. I’m wondering if this so-called Iranian hit-man was in fact a dissident.

From 2 months ago, a different Irish rag....

Iran and Ireland’s common histories recalled Events for 1979 Islamic Revolution refer to famine and sanctions imposed by foreigners

I think yours is the most plausible reasoning. Also, the war is probably amongst the same group otherwise they wouldn’t have known the hit man was there or what he was. It’s the number Two in the organization trying to take control. (A full round of popcorn to everyone on the thread.)
