The U.K. Ministry of Defense, however, said in a statement that the British soldier who was killed was a member of the Royal Army Medical Corps.
The U.S. Secretary of States, Mike Pompeo condemned the attack as saying in a tweet, “Today’s deadly attack on Iraq’s Camp Taji military base will not be tolerated. @DominicRaab and I agree – those responsible must be held accountable,” .
No-one claimed responsibility for the attack, and the U.S. and U.K. have not yet attributed blame.
However, the United States has always accused Iran-backed groups in Iraq of carrying out similar strikes.
