Pompeo to face House panel on US killing of Iran's Soleimani
US secretary of state set to appear for first time before a US House committee probing Trump's justification for attack.
Washington, DC - US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is scheduled to appear on Friday before a committee of Congress probing whether the Trump administration had adequate justification for the assassination of top Iranian commander Qassem Soleimani in Iraq earlier this year.
President Donald Trump and top administration officials have given shifting explanations for the January 3 drone attack that killed Soleimani and others in his convoy at the airport in Baghdad, Iraq.
Iraqi Prime Minister Adil Abdul Mahdi had told Iraq's parliament he was scheduled to meet with Soleimani on the morning the Iranian general was killed and that Soleimani was carrying the Iranian response to an Iraqi diplomatic initiative to foster talks between Riyadh and Tehran.
Initially, Trump, Pompeo and others said Soleimani was an "imminent threat" to American interests in Iraq. But administration officials walked back from that justification, saying they did not know "when or where" any attacks planned by Solemani would take place.
In closed-door briefings to US legislators, Trump officials were unable to provide evidence of an imminent threat and instead described Soleimani's past activities and likely future threats, Democrats and some Republicans said.

Face it. Trump is a low-life mob-boss and assassination is acceptable to his low-life mob administration.
