A senior commander of an Iran-backed militia has been killed in a US drone strike in Baghdad.
A leader of Kataib Hezbollah and two of his guards were in a vehicle when it was targeted in the east of the Iraqi capital. All three of them died.
The Pentagon said the commander was responsible for directing attacks on American forces in the region.
The US has linked the militia to a drone attack in Jordan that killed three US troops last month.
Their presence in the Middle East did keep the British out though, at least as far as I know.
True, but its not like it was free of fucking arounds and finding outs during their reign either.
The Mid East. is the place you can always point back to someone else as to blame all the way back to the Ubaidians.
Yeah, that’s true. I should have said “at least” but I thought that things were relatively stable under the Ottomans. Though I suppose “relatively stable” is a pretty low bar with how it’s been since they fell.
