AT NIGHT, I'M SHANNON BREAM IN
WASHINGTON.
WE BEGIN WITH A FOX NEWS ALERT.
BREAKING NEWS MINUTES AGO FROM
IRAN WITH THE MILITARY THERE IS
ADMITTING ABOUT THAT DOWNED
UKRAINIAN PLANE.
BUT FIRST, THE FOX NEWS AT NIGHT
EXCLUSIVE, TONIGHT, BRAND NEW
PICTURES FROM THE SCENE OF THE
SUCCESSFUL U.S. AIR STRIKE THAT
KILLED IRAN'S TOP GENERAL QASEM
SOLIEMANI.
LIVE ON THE GROUND IN THE MIDDLE
EAST.
EXAMINING THE MEDIA SPIN ON THE
U.S.-IRAN SHOWDOWN.
BUT WE BEGIN ON THAT EXCLUSIVE
LOOK INSIDE THE U.S. AIR STRIKE
THAT TOOK OUT SOLIEMANI, GOOD
EVENING.
>> GOOD EVENING, SHANNON, TO
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
