The man, whom the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad identified as 45-year-old Stephen Edward Troell, a native of Tennessee, was killed by unknown assailants in his car as he drove onto the street where he lived in Baghdad's central Karrada district on the east bank of the Tigris River.

Helping the Muslims won’t make them hate you any less.

He was murdered, but as a Christian, has entered eternal life. May God comfort his wife and child for their loss.

What Iranian?
Two years ago, I was probably focused on the latest Dem War on Trump. I don’t recall a big news event about an Iranian killed by Americans. Maybe it was only local news in Iran.
This Hit Squad should be targeting their own Ayatolah in Iran.

Sorry folks. I worked in that country for along time. Used to drive up and down the main drag of “The Penis”’as it was commonly referred to.

No place for an American to be living. Especially with his family.

If he was spreading the gospel, he should have been doing it up north, in Mosul or the Kurdish areas.

Sulemani being taken out at the airport.

An assassination that most of Iraq was celebrating.

I see. Thank you.
I haven’t paid much direct attention to Iran in a while, not since the Obama ‘cash money on a pallete’ days.
