U.S. Should Shut Down Iran's Top Terrorist

(Washington Times) Kenneth R. Timmerman - As head of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps-Quds Force (IRGC-QF), Qassem Suleymani is Iran's top terrorist. The Quds Force is in charge of "extraterritorial" operations for the IRGC - it's the overseas terrorist wing. The Quds Force has been implicated in terror plots all around the world, including a failed 2011 attempt to blow up the Saudi ambassador at a Washington, D.C. restaurant. Suleymani and his operatives were also implicated in the September 11 plot, helping 10 to 12 of the Saudi hijackers travel clandestinely through Iran to Afghanistan and providing logistical and other support. The introduction of explosively formed projectiles onto the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan by Suleymani and his men changed the scope and scale of U.S. casualties, ultimately accounting for as many as 1,500 U.S. battlefield deaths. After Osama bin Laden, Qassem Suleymani has more American blood on his hands than any terrorist. It's time we shut him down for good.
