A new US airstrike targeting a
commander of Iraq’s Hashd al-Shaabi paramilitary forces has instead killed at
least six people early on Saturday, according to Al Jazeera.
This happened a day after an
airstrike attack ordered by US President Donald Trump killed top Iranian
general, Qassem Soleimani.
Al Jazeera reports that Iraq’s
state television said the attack took place along Taji Road north of the
capital Baghdad.
Hashd al-Shaabi, also known as
the Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF), denied that a senior commander was in
the convoy.
Al Jazeera reports that at least
six people, including medics, were killed in the latest raid while three other
people were critically wounded.
Taji Road, where the attack took
place, leads to a base belonging to non-US coalition forces, including British
and Italian troops, according to Al Jazeera’s Osama Bin Javaid, reporting from
Baghdad.
Al Jazeera’s correspondent added
that a group of vehicles was hit.
