Retaliatory strikes ‘under way’ after attack on US troops in Iraq

Posted by ipso facto @ 19:12 on March 12, 2020  

The United States launched airstrikes in Iraq late on Thursday, US officials said, targeting the Iranian-backed Shia militia members believed to be responsible for Wednesday’s rocket attack that killed and wounded American and British troops at a base north of Baghdad.

One US official told the Associated Press news agency that multiple strikes targeted Kataib Hezbollah weapons facilities inside Iraq. The official did not specify the exact location. The strikes were a joint operation with the British, that official said. The officials spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity because operations were still ongoing.
