Organizational Decapitation

Reuters reports another close associate of the late IRGC General Soleimani has been assassinated, this one in south-western Iran.
IRNA said that Abdolhossein Mojaddami, a Basij commander in the city of Darkhovin in the southwestern province of Khuzestan, was shot on Tuesday in front of his home by two men riding a motorcycle. 
You could think of Mojaddami as the equivalent of a regional Gestapo boss. No one has claimed credit for the killing, maybe it was our Special Forces, maybe Mossad, maybe an Iranian rival, maybe a jealous husband or ambitious underling.

As we noted a few days ago when another Soleimani associate was killed in southern Iraq, shortening these folks life expectancy is good pour encourager les autres.
