Iranian General Qassem Soleimani
FOX News: EXCLUSIVE: Shadowy Iranian general visits Moscow, violating sanctions
A shadowy Iranian general responsible for the deaths of nearly 500 Americans traveled to Moscow Wednesday to meet with high-ranking Russian officials -- a trip that violated multiple United Nations resolutions forbidding him from leaving his country, multiple western intelligence officials with direct knowledge of the visit told Fox News.
Iranian Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani arrived in Terminal A of Vnukovo airport outside Moscow on Feb. 14 on Mahan Air WD084 at 12:13 p.m. local time and was scheduled to remain in Russia for a few days for meetings, officials said.

WNU Editor: His appearance in Moscow is significant because he played a key role in convincing Moscow to intervene in Syria in the first place (see link here). As to why he is there now .... he probably wants to know what are Moscow's intentions for the future .... more specifically .... what will Russia do with the U.S. in view of rumours that they may be cooperating in Syria.
