Iraqi Court Issues Arrest Warrant for Trump over Killing of Top Militia Chief
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

An Iraqi court has issued an arrest warrant for President Trump for
killing militia chief Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis in the same targeted drone
strike that killed top Iranian General Qassem Soleimani just over one
year ago. The strike on the Baghdad airport was ordered by Trump, who
later said it had taken out "two [men] for the price of one." Earlier
this week, Iran requested Interpol arrest Trump and other U.S. officials
for Soleimani's assasination.
