BAGHDAD, March 29, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - A strike in northern Iraq on Saturday killed three fighters from the former paramilitary coalition Hashed al-Shaabi, the alliance said, blaming the US and Israel for the attack. Pro-Iran Iraqi armed groups have carried out drone and rocket attacks against multiple US targets, including the embassy in Baghdad. Three PMF fighters were killed and four wounded, according to the group, in the "treacherous Zionist-US attack" near Kirkuk city's international airport. Iraq has not officially blamed the United States, but did summon the country's charge d'affaires over the strike. Washington has strongly denied targeting Iraqi security forces.
