The Pentagon says the Kataib Hezbollah leader was responsible for directing attacks on American forces.

A senior commander of an Iran-backed militia has been killed in a US drone strike in Baghdad.

A leader of Kataib Hezbollah and two of his guards were in a vehicle when it was targeted in the east of the Iraqi capital. All three of them died.

The Pentagon said the commander was responsible for directing attacks on American forces in the region.

The US has linked the militia to a drone attack in Jordan that killed three US troops last month.

        That’s why we need to petition congress to spend more on defense. They want you to think we already have sword laser missiles, but the poor military industrial complex barely has enough money for swords and lasers and missiles by themselves, let alone all 3 in one sexy package.
