WASHINGTON — American officials said the U.S. has launched airstrikes in Iraq targeting the Iranian-backed Shia militia members believed responsible for the rocket attack that killed and wounded American and British troops at a base north of Baghdad.
One U.S. official said multiple strikes targeted Kataib Hezbollah weapons facilities inside Iraq.
The strikes were a joint operation with the British, that official says. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because operations were still going on.
