Sharjah24 - AFP: An American strike killed a pro-Iran commander in Iraq who was involved in attacks on Washington's troops, a US defense official said Thursday.
"This strike was taken in self-defense. No civilians were harmed. No infrastructure or facilities were struck," the official said in a statement.
It targeted a leader of Harakat al-Nujaba, a pro-Iran armed organisation in Iraq, who was "actively involved in planning and carrying out attacks against American personnel," the official said, adding that it also killed another of the group's members.
