Reports that Muhammad al-Kawtharani, a Lebanese Hezbollah leader, was killed by the US airstrikes on Baghdad Airport. That would mean that Kata'ib Hezbollah officials, high-ranking IRGC officers and at least one Lebanese Hezbollah official were in the same convoy tonight.

Link to bio for Abu Mahdi al-Mohandis
Jamal Jafaar Mohammed Ali Ebrahimi, known by the kunya Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, is an Iraqi-Iranian military commander who heads the Popular Mobilisation Committee (Al-Hashd Al-Sha'abi), which is active against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant militant group. The organisations he oversees are reported to have close connections to the Quds Force, part of the Armed Forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

He is the commander of the Kata'ib Hezbollah militia, and prior to that worked with the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps against the Saddam Hussein regime.

More and more confirmations on the death of Abu Mahdi al-Mohandis from this “strike” this evening at #Baghdad International Airport

AND DRUM ROLL! CONFIRMED!

If Qassem Soleimani is really dead, that's a bigger score for the US than either al-Baghdadi or bin Laden. He was more dangerous than both of them.
