World US Targeted Second Iran Commander On Day Of Soleimani Killing, Says Report By Unnikrishnan Nair @unnikrishnan 01/10/20 AT 5:50 PM KEY POINTS > U.S. tried to kill Abdul Reza Shahlai, a key commander an financier of the Quds Force > The strike was carried out in Yemen, said a report > Shahlai behind 2011 plot to kill Saudi ambassador to the U.S. The U.S. military tried to kill a second Iranian commander on the same night that they killed Quds Force commander Gen. Qasem Soleimani, a report said. The U.S. targeted Abdul Reza Shahlai, a key commander an financier of the Quds Force, in Yemen, on the night of Jan. 2, the Washington Post reported quoting sources. The Houthi militia in Yemen is financed and suported by the Iranians in their battle against a Saudi-led coalition. The report did not give any details on how a strike was attempted but the Pentagon later acknowledged that it had seen reports of an airstrike in Yemen. The State Department had in December announced a reward of up to $15 million for information on the financial activities, networks and associates of Shahlai. Shehlai was allegedly behind a 2011 attempt to kill Adel Al-Jubeir, the then Saudi Arabian ambassador to the U.S. in New York. His cousin Arbabsiar is now serving time in prison for aiding the plot. Shahlai was also involved in the kidnapping and murder of five American soldiers outside Karbala, Iraq, on Jan. 20, 2007. Poster Comment: Video at source.

.500 is a decent batting average. Maybe we'll do better next time.

Not too many ball players in last decade to go above .300. I think it was around 200 or so. ;) "When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall, one by one." Edmund Burke
