Pro-Iranian Militia Commander Threatens Attacks Against US Forces Unless They Leave Iraq

CAIRO - The commander of Iraq's self-styled pro-Iranian "resistance" forces has threatened to mount more attacks on U.S. forces inside the country if they don't withdraw.

The threat by the commander, Khais al Khazali, coincided with a drone attack overnight that targeted U.S. forces in Kurdistan. A U.S. coalition spokesman in Iraq confirmed in a statement Saturday that there had been a drone attack on U.S. forces at the Qiyyara base and said there had been no casualties. In addition to promising more attacks on U.S. forces, Khazali said opposition forces would retaliate if the U.S. attacked them.
