The rocket assault killed 2 Americans and 1 Briton. FMTNews US
A rocket-rigged truck launcher was used in the attack on Camp Taji, a few miles north of Baghdad.
“These weapons storage facilities include facilities that housed weapons used” to target American and coalition forces. Iraqi security forces found a rocket-rigged truck a few miles from Camp Taji after the strike, which occurred only months after a similar assault almost led to a direct military confrontation with Iran.
Then in early January the US killed Iranian General Qassem Soleimani, who the Trump administration accused of planning more attacks against American targets. Iran responded by firing more than a dozen missiles at US-Iraqi bases. The shooting down of a commercial airliner in January and the killing of anti-government protesters in 2019 amid a worsening economic crisis, has put President Hassan Rouhani’s government under siege.
Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said that the virus could be part of a biological attack on the Islamic Republic, according to a statement published by the semi-official Fars News agency on Thursday.
