BAGHDAD, Iraq — Eight overnight attacks targeted a US diplomatic and logistics center at Baghdad’s International Airport, an Iraqi security official tells AFP.
“Eight separate attacks, carried out until dawn with rockets and drones, targeted the US center,” a senior security official tells AFP, adding that “some rockets landed near the base.”
A second security official says there had been six strikes, with a police source saying a rocket launcher was discovered in a Baghdad district near the airport.
