Iran-Backed Militia Accidentally Bombs Chinese Consulate in Iraq. Things haven’t been this crazy since Obama droned a wedding.
The attack on Monday, claimed by an allegedly newly-formed militant group named “Saraya Awlia al-Dam (Dummies who can’t shoot straight),” featured about 14 rockets bombing various parts of the regional capital, including Erbil’s airport, residential areas, and at least one market. Local authorities confirmed at least one death and eight injuries, including civilians and at least one U.S. service member. Iraq’s Interior Ministry described the attack as similar in “method and technique” to past bombings of Erbil.
