AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): A telecommunication company in Iraq has provided the American forces with vital information which helped Washington to assassinate former IRGC Quds Force Commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani and Deputy Commander of Iraq’s Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, Iraqi media reported.

 

The Special Committee to Investigate the Assassination of General Soleimani and al-Muhandis has received information about an Iraqi telecommunication company’s involvement in the incident, the Arabic-language Shafaq News reported on Monday, but did not provide any details on the identity of the telecommunication company.
