Rockets hit military base housing US and other coalition troops north of Baghdad Saturday morning, wounding 3 coalition soldiers and 2 Iraqi soldiers.
The attack was unusual because it occurred during the day. Previous assaults on military bases housing U.S. troops typically occurred at night.against what U.S. officials said were mainly weapons facilities belonging to Kataib Hezbollah, the Iran-backed militia group believed to be responsible.
Iran-backed Shiite militia groups vowed to exact revenge for Friday's U.S. strikes, signaling another cycle of tit-for-tat violence between Washington and Tehran that could play out inside Iraq.
