Airstrikes Underway in Iraq in Retaliation for Attack That Killed 2 U.S. Troops (VIDEO)

The United States responded to an attack that killed two US soldiers with airstrikes against numerous targets in Iraq on Thursday.

Fox News’ Jennifer Griffin reported that military sources told her the airstrikes were concentrated on Iranian-backed Shia militias.

The attack on coalition forces at Camp Taji on Wednesday was suspected to be coordinated by Iranian-backed militias. In addition to the US fatalities, a British service member was also killed in the attack that included as many as 30 rockets.

The attack also injured another dozen service members.

Iran had previously launched attacks against US forces in January as retaliation for the drone strike that killed Iranian military leader Qassem Soleimani near Baghdad airport.
