Drone Attack Hits Shiite Militia Base in Northern Iraq

Edward Yeranian

   CAIRO -- An unidentified drone or drones attacked a Shiite militia base
   in northern Iraq early Friday, reportedly destroying parts of a weapons
   depot and causing casualties among Shiite militiamen and advisers from
   Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Lebanon's Hezbollah.

   No group claimed responsibility.The U.S. military denied any
   responsibility in the attack, which coincided with the U.S. downing of
   an Iranian drone in the Strait of Hormuz that was reportedly
   threatening a U.S. naval vessel.

   Amateur video showed people shouting and explosives detonating at the
   Shiite militia camp following the drone attack near TuzKharmato. Some
   witnesses said several drones attackedthe site, although other reports
   said the base might have been shelled, setting fire to a weapons depot.
