Iraqi militia claims to target US troops at Baghdad airport in drone attack

An Iraqi Shiite militia claims a drone attack targeting US troops at the airport in Iraq’s capital, Baghdad, further widening the retaliation over the killing of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

The group, Saraya Awliya al-Dam, is one of a group of Shiite militias operating in Iraq following the 2003 US-led invasion of the country that toppled Saddam Hussein.

The US and Iraq do not immediately comment on the claim.
