Tehran Prosecutor Ali Alqasi-Mehr says United Kingdom-based security company G4S collaborated with US forces in the assassination of Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani by providing the US with information about the top Iranian anti-terror commander.
"One of the important and significant issues in this case is the role of the British company G4S in the assassination of the commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), which was responsible for flight securing at Baghdad airport, and the agents of that company provided information to the terrorists about General Soleimani and his companions upon their arrival," the official said on Wednesday.
The judicial official made the remarks during a legal and judicial follow-up session on the assassination case of General Soleimani.
He added that the six countries of Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Qatar, Jordan and Kuwait have been given warrants from Iran to identify and arrest the culprits.
A committee has also been set up to track down the whereabouts of American terrorist suspects outside the United States to arrest and extradite them, he added.
He said that the US air base in Germany was also involved in the exchange of information among the American drones that were involved in the assassination of General Soleimani, noting letters rogatory have been issued in pursuing the case.
US terrorists assassinated General Soleimani, along with Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, deputy head of Iraqs Popular Mobilization Units (PMU), and their companions by targeting their vehicle outside Baghdad International Airport on January 3.
The cowardly act of terror was carried out under the direction of US President Donald Trump, with the Pentagon taking responsibility for the strike.
General Soleimani is viewed by the worlds freedom-seeking people as the key figure in defeating Daesh, the worlds most notorious terrorist group, in the Middle East battles.
