US PRESIDENT Donald Trump has been accused of committing a war crime after claims that Iranian General Qasem Soleimani was lured to Iraq, where he was assassinated by a US strike on Friday.
Iraqi Prime Minister Abdel Abdul Mahdi stated that he was due to meet the elite Quds force commander after he landed in Baghdad for talks that had been agreed at Mr Trump’s request.
