Iraq says it arrests four after rocket attacks on Syria base

Iraq arrested four people in connection with an earlier rocket attack launched against a military base in neighboring Syria, officials say.

“Our security forces, supported by intelligence efforts, moved in and were able to arrest four of the perpetrators,” according to a short statement from the prime minister’s office, adding the suspects had been handed over to the “appropriate authorities” as part of the investigation.

The attack yesterday targeted a northeastern Syrian military base in Hasakeh province that had until recently hosted US forces with an international anti-jihadist coalition.
