TEHRAN – A joint Iranian and Iraqi committee will meet in Baghdad Tuesday to pursue the case of the U.S. assassination of top anti-terror commander Lt. General Qassem Soleimani and his companion, an official said.
Kazem Gharibabadi, the Iranian Judiciary chief’s deputy for international affairs, said the new round of negotiations will continue for two days in the Iraqi capital. Lt. General Soleimani, the former commander the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps Quds Force, was martyred together with his companions in a US drone strike that targeted Baghdad in January 2020. The attack came while General Soleimani was paying an official visit to the Iraqi capital.
