Pentagon Used Six-Bladed Weapon to Kill Militia Leader

“The Pentagon killed a Kataib Hezbollah leader in downtown Baghdad last week using a weapon that employs six long blades to shred its target and minimize civilian casualties,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“The modified Hellfire missile, which inside the military is referred to colloquially as ‘the flying Ginsu,’ recalling the popular knives sold on TV infomercials in the 1970s, was used to target Abu Baqr al-Saadi, the leader of Kataib Hezbollah in Syria.”
