BEIRUT: An Iranian commander has been shot dead south of the Syrian capital, a war monitor reported Saturday.
Farhad Dabirian was killed on Friday in the Sayyida Zeinab neighbourhood outside Damascus, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said, identifying him as a commander in Iran´s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Iran's Fars news agency said that Dabirian had been "martyred", without specifying his rank or whether he was a member of the IRGC. It said he was tasked with guarding a Shiite shrine south of the Syrian capital.
