an older article I came across while digging for more info on the daughter….
I think its interesting how in the article they describe how top secret Soleimani’s location is, and how only a few people at a time know, and then only a few days in advance. If that was still true as of a couple days ago, then they have quite the mole…..
Source strongly denies rumors about IRGC Quds Force commander General Soleimani
November 15, 2015

The source declined to mention where General Soleimani is stationed now, and stressed, “His whereabouts is always a top secret and only his team and a few top commanders who stand atop the chain of command know his realtime location.”
“There is a very strict Standard Operational Procedure (SOP) to contact him, and his location is only known by very few people top the chain of the command who are to coordinate the war on terrorism,” he said.
“There is also a level two who come to know controlled information about him only after three days. These commanders come to be informed of such sensitive information during briefings and debriefings,” the source told FNA.
“This is for his safety and due to the secret nature of his mission,” he said. “Gen. Soleimani is not a commander in the battlefield who could be hunted. His case is totally different from martyr General Hamadani. He is the liason of all fronts to coordinate war in Iraq and Syria and no wise person would ever send such a top leader to a small battlefield.”
