A security camera video, purporting to show the US airstrike that killed Iranian Major General Qassem Soleimani and several leaders of the Iraqi PMF outside the Baghdad airport, has surfaced online.
The 11-second clip, first posted by the Iraqi TV station Ahad, shows an explosion ripping through the parking lot outside Baghdad International Airport on Thursday evening.

Ahad TV described the short recording as “the moment of brutal American aggression and the assassination of two martyr leaders Qassem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis.”
Early reports of the incident indicated that Soleimani and Al-Muhandis were traveling in two separate vehicles in a convoy and that multiple missiles were launched from either US drones or helicopters.
Photos of the wreckage released by the Iraqi government also show multiple SUVs burned out on the side of the road by the airport.
