U.S. Strikes Iran-Aligned Militias in Iraq
(Reuters) Ahmed Rasheed - After multiple rockets were launched toward Iraq's Ain al-Asad airbase housing U.S.-led forces last week, the U.S. on Tuesday struck a base south of Baghdad used by Iraq's Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), killing four members of Iran-aligned militias and wounding four others. U.S. officials said the strike targeted militants at a drone manufacturing facility who posed a threat to U.S. and coalition forces. Tuesday's action was the first U.S. strike in Iraq since February.
