H/t Instapundit
[Daily Mail] - A prominent pro-Iran militia commander has been killed by unidentified gunmen in Iraq.

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 of Kata'ib Hezbollah or Iraqi Hezbollah, which also include the Brigade of Abu al-Fadl al-Abbas, the Zaid bin Ali Brigades, Ali al-Akbar Brigades and al-Sojjad Brigades. Abu Talib al-Saidi has led the Karbala Brigades since 2003...
a unit within the Iran-backed Shiite PMF umbrella group.
