Attack on two US Army logistics convoys in southern Iraq.
Iraqi security sources reported an attack on two US military logistics convoys in southern Iraq this morning.
Iraqi media sources reported today (Thursday, February 10th) that two US military logistics convoys were targeted in al-Muthanna province.
A logistics convoy belonging to the US-led anti-ISIL coalition was targeted by a roadside bomb in al-Muthanna, but did not cause any casualties, Al-Dajla news website reported, quoting a well-informed security source in the province.
Shortly after the news broke, some media sources, including the Saberin News Telegram Channel, reported an attack on the US Army Second Logistics Caravan on the Al-Samawah-Diwaniyah route. Al-Samawah is the capital of Al-Muthanna Province.
Following the Iraqi parliament’s decision to expel foreign troops from the country and Baghdad’s delay in doing so, US coalition logistics convoys are targeted by roadside bombs several times a week, sometimes several times a day.
Iraqi groups insist that the Iraqi government must expel foreign troops from Iraq, following a resolution passed by the Iraqi parliament.
The Iraqi parliament in January 1998, following a terrorist attack by the United States on the assassination of General Haj Qassem Soleimani, commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and Abu Mahdi al-Mohandes, deputy head of the Iraqi Martyr Al-Hashd al-Shabi organization, planned to expel foreign forces.
