A senior commander of an Iran-backed militia has been killed in a US drone strike in Baghdad.

A leader of Kataib Hezbollah and two of his guards were in a vehicle when it was targeted in the east of the Iraqi capital. All three of them died.

The Pentagon said the commander was responsible for directing attacks on American forces in the region.

The US has linked the militia to a drone attack in Jordan that killed three US troops last month.

    It’s just a series of “find out” phases in response to the previous ones and has been since like the fall of the Ottoman Empire.

          True, but its not like it was free of fucking arounds and finding outs during their reign either.

          The Mid East. is the place you can always point back to someone else as to blame all the way back to the Ubaidians.
