March 15 (The Killid Group) — A barrage of rockets struck a base hosting U.S. and other coalition troops north of Baghdad on Saturday, Iraqi security officials told media.
Days after a similar attack killed three servicemen, including two Americans and one U.K. soldier, a spate of rockets hit Camp Taji, north of Iraq.
It was the 23rd such attack since late October on installations across Iraq where U.S. troops and diplomats are based, with the latest rounds growing deadlier.
At least 33 rockets hit Iraqi air defence units at the Taji air base on Saturday, March 14, media quoted the country’s military.
According to spokesman for the U.S.-led coalition as saying to media, five people were wounded in the attack, including three coalition members and two Iraqi soldiers.
None of the attacks have ever been claimed, but the U.S. has blamed hardline elements of the Hashd al-Shaabi.
