3 said killed after blasts hit base in Iraq used by Iran-backed militiamen
BAGHDAD — Three people were killed and others wounded in explosions at a base belonging to former paramilitaries in Babylon province south of Baghdad, a security source and a Hashed al-Shaabi official say.
“Three members of Hashed were killed and four others are critically wounded,” says the official from the alliance of pro-Iranian former paramilitary groups now integrated into the regular army. He adds that the blasts were caused by an “airstrike — four or five missiles hit the base.” The security source confirms the initial toll of people killed.
