Two Rockets Hit Iraqi Capital’s Green Zone by megawealth01: 11:37pm On Jan 08, 2020 |
Two rockets crashed late Wednesday into the Iraqi capital’s Green Zone, the high-security enclave where foreign embassies including the US mission are based, security sources told AFP. Just before midnight, AFP correspondents in Baghdad heard two loud blasts followed by the wailing security sirens of the Green Zone. The attack came nearly 24 hours after Tehran launched ballistic missiles at Iraqi bases housing American and other coalition forces, which did not cause casualties. The strikes were in retaliation for a US drone strike that killed top Iranian general Qasem Soleimani and Iraqi commander Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis last week. Muhandis had been the deputy head of the Hashed al-Shaabi, a web of armed groups incorporated into the Iraqi state but which also have close ties to Tehran. The United States had accused Hashed groups of being behind a string of rocket attacks on the US embassy in Baghdad and bases hosting American troops across the country. On Wednesday, the Hashed’s hardline factions vowed they, too, would take revenge for the US raid. Paramilitary chief Qais al-Khazali — blacklisted as a “terrorist” by the US — said Iraq’s response to the US “will be no less than the size of the Iranian response.” Harakat al-Nujaba, a hardline Hashed faction, vowed to avenge Muhandis. “To American soldiers: Do not close your eyes. Revenge for the martyr Muhandis is coming at the hands of Iraqis — until the last soldier among you leaves,” it said. https://punchng.com/updated-two-rockets-hit-iraqi-capitals-green-zone/ 1 Like |

SangoOlukosoOba:And this exactly is the problem. Cutting the head of the hydra creates 2 in its place. I really don't know what Trump was thinking by authorizing that strike. The region is still reeling from the aftermath of Saddam's murder as well as Ghadaffi. Splinter cells of terror groups form that lack definite leadership |

I Perceive There will be attacks behind closed doors between the USA and Iran.... The soldiers sent to the Middle East did not go there for Summer Holidays... Texas is said to be facing about 10,000 cyber attacks per minute from Iran |
