CNN: Report: Ahmadinejad's bodyguard killed in Syria

A bodyguard for former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has been killed in the northern Syrian city of Aleppo, Tehran's state media reported.

Abdollah Baqeri Niyaraki was also a former member of Iran's Revolutionary Guard. He was in Syria serving as a military adviser to the nation's troops, the semiofficial Fars news agency says.

His death comes on the heels of two other high-ranking Iranian military figures, also acting as advisers in the south of the country, who were killed in clashes with insurgents, Fars says.
