SULAIMANIYA, Iraq, Sept 30 (Reuters) – Iran-backed Iraqi paramilitary groups launched a rocket attack targeting U.S. troops in the semi-autonomous Kurdistan Region’s capital Erbil, Iraqi Kurdistan’s counter-terrorism service said on Wednesday.
“Six rockets were launched from the borders of the Sheikh Amir village in Nineveh province by the Popular Mobilisation Forces who were targeting (U.S.-led) coalition forces in Erbil International Airport,” the service said in a statement.
Four rockets landed at the edge of the airport compound and two did not explode, it added.
