WASHINGTON POST
A U.S. military strike in Baghdad on Wednesday killed the leader of a militia group that has plotted attacks on American troops throughout the region, officials said.
The operation targeted a key figure in an Iranian-backed group, Kata’ib Hezbollah, that the Biden administration has blamed for scores of attacks on U.S. forces in Iraq and Syria since October. American positions have been hit with drones, rockets or missiles at least 168 times in that span. An attack in Jordan on Jan. 28 that killed three U.S. soldiers was the first time one turned deadly.
