Iraq’s Kataib Hezbollah has said Iraqi armed groups have decided to resume attacks on US forces in the country.
They blamed the lack of progress in talks aimed at arranging the exit of American troops.
“What happened a short while ago is the beginning,” the group said.
They were apparently referring to an earlier incident where at least five rockets were launched from the Iraqi town of Zummar towards a US military base in Syria.
A coalition fighter destroyed the launcher in self defence after reports of a failed rocket attack near the base, a US official said.
It’s not clear whether the rockets failed to hit the base or if they had been destroyed before they could reach it.
No US personnel were injured.
