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.

I wouldn’t be surprised if this isn’t the work of the old Iraq intelligence officers from the old regime still working in the shadows hoping to come back to power, they are anti-iran and don’t want a Iran coming to power there.

Instead of them hunting us, now we're hunting them

As it should be. IMO, we have the world's best covert operatives in the business.

Put 'em in and let them go to work to reek havoc. This includes Iran proper, which may just be happening already.

Yeah not in Iraq.

We just spent trillions "nation building" for the last 15 years instead of killing the ragheads wholesale.

It would destroy all of Bush and Obama's work.

Iraqi police are saying it wasn’t him - that it was someone with a similar name.
Besides Daily Mail, I haven’t seen a large news outlet cover this story.
Everyone posting it seems to have gotten it from the Mail.
So, I’m wondering if it’s really true.

The missed target in question was in Yemen, not Iraq

So many targets, so few hits.

CNN, The New York Times, and The Washington Posts weeps!! They like the money they get from reporting on Terrorism as well as the Terrorists themselves.

Feel-good story for a Sunday.

He just retired. That’s how they do it over there. Instead of a gold watch they get a few chunks of lead.
