Baghdad [Iraq], March 15 : The Saraya Awliya al-Dam group has claimed responsibility for a series of strikes targeting American installations in Iraq, Al Jazeera reported on Sunday.
Operating in Iraq since the US-led invasion in 2003 that ousted Saddam Hussein, Saraya Awliya al-Dam is among several Shiite militia groups active in the region.
The group stated that it carried out the attacks in response to the US and Israel’s killing of Iran’s former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the deaths of its fighters.
According to the group, the offensive involved strikes on multiple locations, Al Jazeera noted. The attacks included a US site in the northern city of Erbil and at the Victoria Base at the Baghdad airport, it added. See More/Details
