Iraq Releases Footage of Analyst’s Assassination
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iraqi TV Al-Hadath released a footage on Tuesday, showing the moment a prominent analyst assassinated by unknown assailants in Baghdad.
Hisham al-Hishami, 47, was shot near his home in the Zeyouneh area of Baghdad and pronounced dead at a hospital on Monday. According to his brother, he was killed days after receiving threats from the Daesh terror group.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for Hashimi's killing.
