BUT WE BEGIN ON THAT EXCLUSIVE

LOOK INSIDE THE U.S. AIR STRIKE

THAT TOOK OUT SOLIEMANI, GOOD

YOU.

LEARN MORE ABOUT THAT OPERATION

FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END

RESULTING FROM THE DEATH OF

QASEM SOLIEMANI.

IT INCLUDED SPECIAL OPERATIONS

SOLDIERS ON THE GROUND THAT

FOLLOWED HIS CONVOY.

THIS IS THE PICTURE OF THE

AFTERMATH OBTAINED BY FOBBING

NEWS FROM A MEMBER OF THE U.S.

GOVERNMENT.

SPECIAL OPERATION SOLDIERS WERE

FOLLOWING SOLIEMANI'S CONVOY

FROM THE BAGHDAD AIRPORT AND

THEY WERE HALF A MILE BEHIND

WHEN THE DRONE HIT.

THEY WERE ON THE SCENE WITHIN A

MINUTE OR TWO.

THEY DID WHAT IN THE BUSINESS IS

CALLED A BOMB DAMAGE ASSESSMENT

AND TOOK PICTURES OF THE SCENE

ALONG WITH CONFIRMING THAT THE

DRONE GOT THE RIGHT CAR AND

SOLIEMANI WAS DEAD.

MANY OF THE PICTURES WE HAVE

CONTAIN GRAPHIC AND CLOSE-UP

PICTURES OF THE BODY.

IT'S TOO GRUESOME.

HE'S MISSING LIMBS AND IS

GROSSLY DISFIGURED.

SOURCES WHO SAW THE PICTURES

NOTED THAT SOLIEMANI DIED IN

MUCH THE WAY THE AMERICANS DIED.

>> THIS PICTURE IS TAKEN FROM

THE OTHER DIRECTION, SHOWING

SOLIEMANI'S BODY NEXT TO THE

CAR.

WE HAVE BLURRED THE BODY.

THE AMERICAN ASSETS DRAGGED THE

BODY FROM THE SCENE, PUT THE

FIRE OUT, AND IDENTIFIED THE

IRANIAN GENERAL.

THEY TOOK PICTURES OF HIS

POSSESSIONS INCLUDING POETRY

BOOK, TWO OF THE WEAPONS,

PISTOLS AND ASSAULT RIFLE ALONG

WITH WADS OF CASH WITH THE FACE

OF THE AYATOLLAH.

ORDINARILY HIS CELL PHONE AND

OTHER ELECTRONICS WOULD BE TAKEN

FOR FORENSIC ANALYSIS TO SEE WHO

HE WAS TALKING TO.

YOU CAN SEE BY THE CHARRED

REMAINS OF THE PHONE IN THE

UPPER LEFT-HAND CORNER OF THIS

PICTURE, THE HELL FIRE MISSILE

AND ENSUING FIRE MADE THAT

IMPOSSIBLE.

>> MIKE LEE, YOU SEE A WOUNDED

VETERAN MISSING A LIMB OR

SERIOUSLY DISFIGURED, THE ODDS

ARE GOOD THAT THEY WERE WOUNDED

BY AN IED DESIGNED AND DEPLOYED
